Bug 2372324

Hey Rex, I've checked into the repo mentioned by Vincenzo and it is being used by Suse.  I've done some cleanup and 
built it in COPR:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gbcox/dogfood/build/9273980/

I'll volunteer to take over this package if no one else wants it.  
I'll also work with upstream to help clean it up further.
Let me know.  Thank you!

New build using the qtiocompressor I updated for qt6.
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gbcox/dogfood/build/9277491/

Refreshed build: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gbcox/dogfood/build/9277650/

If this new package is to replace the current cantata, it should imho be built with -DENABLE_SIMPLE_MPD_SUPPORT=ON, as otherwise migrating from a previous setup that used the inbuilt mpd will fail, plus it will obviously not work for users who can't / don't want to setup their own mpd instance.

Also it appears that fedora releases, at least mine (mostly vanilla 42 with KDE Plasma) is affected by https://github.com/nullobsi/cantata/issues/35 which probably also needs fixing before replacing the current cantata package.

But thanks a lot for working on this :)

(In reply to Christian from comment #4)
...SIMPLE_MPD_SUPPORT=ON, 
OK, I've modified, it will be in the ~-2 build here:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gbcox/dogfood/build/9279794/

...icon issue: https://github.com/nullobsi/cantata/issues/35
I also have a new install of F42, and not experiencing the issue.  I'm thinking
this may be either due to missing packages at runtime that I'm not picking up
in the requires or (just as likely), some quirk with KDE.  It doesn't make
much sense that it works for me and doesn't for you.  

Can you please share the output of these two commands:
fc-list | grep -i awesome
fc-match -s FontAwesome

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gbcox/dogfood/build/9280083/

I shall try your newest build later on to see if the migration / the integrated mpd works, thanks again for working on this in general!

Yes, use the new build here:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gbcox/dogfood/build/9280375/

The F42 builds are fine, the F43 is having issues because of cmake4, you can ignore that.

I had to remove mpd as a requirement because that is coming from rpmfusion.
It is against guidelines to have a requirement from a non-fedora repo.

Test for icons

Try to run this program and lmk if you see the icons.
You will need to first install python-pyqt6
To execute, enter:  python fa_test.py

Created attachment 2097423 [details]
Sample output you should see from fa_test.py

You should see something similar to fa_test_output.png

screenshot of the Font Awesome glyph tester python script

Some of them do work, some of them do not. I noticed that the ones not working are using the correct glyph for that Unicode point, e.g. uf001 is indeed fi, it's just FontAwesome that uses that as a music note. 
This happens even if FontAwesome is forced as the font, which is also reproducible in a Qt text editor for me (kate / kwrite). The font for most other glyphs, especially latin letters, seems to be FA though.

As this also happens with a freshly created user, it's a system config and not a user config.

My very best guess at this point is that this is some other fonts config that overrides some glyphs, something that was done in the past to make coloured emojis etc. work, and that would explain why some users have it and some do not. But this is just a guess. To keep this bug report here clean, I would also suggest we move the debugging over to the corresponding GitHub issue.

replacement fontawesome.conf

You want to try an experiment:

go to /etc/fonts/conf.d 
sudo mv 60-fontawesome-6-brands-fonts.conf 60-fontawesome-brands-fonts.conf.disable
sudo mv 60-fontawesome-6-brands-free-fonts.conf 60-fontawesome-brands-free-fonts.conf.disable
sudo mv 60-fontawesome.conf 60-fontawesome.conf.disable

cp the 60-fontawesome.conf here to /etc/fonts/conf.d/

sudo fc-cache -f (to rebuild the font cache)

fc-match -s 'FontAwesome' (your fontawesome fonts should appear first)

retry your apps

If that works, I need to speak to the maintainer of fontawesome.

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gbcox/dogfood/build/9280890/
Finally a good cmake4 build for rawhide.

Hi, I'm afraid that didn't make any difference. 
As the discussion started again in the GitHub issue and more people commented there, I suggest we move the part about this FontAwesome / icon issue to there, so that this bug here can track the new package in general.

As I'll be on Holidays starting this evening, I might not be around to test further within the next two weeks, but hopefully others are.

Thanks and kind regards,

Christian

Hey Christian,
Sorry that didn't help.  I'll ask around and see if anyone has any ideas as to what 
is happening.  Since we've proven this isn't a cantata issue you're right 
that it no longer is appropriate to discuss in this bug.  I'll concentrate now
on getting the upgrade out the door.  Have a great holiday.  If I find out anything, 
I'll let you know.

Local font override

Make your fontconfig override user-local (~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf) so it doesn’t affect the entire system.
run fc-cache -f to load the local override. you don't need sudo.

Then to see if the local override is in place:
fc-match -s FontAwesome
You should then see for the first entry:
Font Awesome 6 Free-Solid-900.otf: "Font Awesome 6 Free" "Solid"

Here is the latest build:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gbcox/dogfood/build/9283478/

This build includes setStyleName("Solid") to attempt to help
those who are experiencing the font issue.

I also recommend installing the local font override in the 
attachments.
