Description Rajeesh 2020-05-02 10:06:57 UTC

Description of problem:
Fontforge (since version 20190801 upstream) supports generating WOFF2 format of fonts. Unfortunately, Fedora version has the option greyed out. Generating WOFF2 format using Python API also fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fontforge-20200314-3.fc32.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a font file using fontforge (SFD/OTF/TTF...)
2. Use the menu File → Generate Fonts. From the resulting window, click on the font type selection drop down and look for WOFF2.


Actual results:
Observe that 'WOFF2' is greyed out.

Expected results:
'WOFF2' is enabled.


Additional info:
I was able to build 20190801 in Fedora 31 with WOFF2 support by passing additional parameter `--enable-woff2` in `%configure` step. Even though that flag is default 'ON', rpmbuild didn't seem to turn it on by default. The buildsystem has since migrated to CMake, I guess.
