Description

The error is a packaging bug with the vlgothic-fonts, reassigning. As for the idea of installing fonts from the network, that one also has nothing to do with XChat, but is implemented entirely on the library level: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutoFontsAndMimeInstaller Complain to the Pango maintainers if you don't like that feature. There's also an option in some config file to turn it off, but I can't find it now. Well the pop-up to install a Japanese font is very annoying, because I have never seen any chat in any of the channels that would require a Japanese font to display (they're all English channels!). If the default UTC encoding of channels in Xchat requires non-English fonts to display UTC encoding correctly, they need to be included in dependancies. And lastly, there is no 'ignore' option to avoid installing fonts that I don't require to view English language channels. What's a packaging bug? "yum install vlgothic-fonts vlgothic-p-fonts" works. apparently AutoFontsInstaller feature doesn't resolve dependencies properly. a subpackage vlgothic-fonts-common are allowed in the font packaging policy. I don't see anything wrong in vlgothic-fonts package here. 1. If the text stack incorrectly decides to install a japanese font, it's a either a fontconfig (bad definition of japanese glyphs) or pango (bad detection) bug. If there is some japanese to display in (for example in one of the nicks), the autoinstall suggestion is correct 2. However once it has decided to install a japanese font, if it fails, that's clearly a pk bug Given that it's a package bug, what would you suggest to get it working? I have only idea to stop subpackaging -common though. (In reply to comment #5) > Given that it's a package bug, what would you suggest to get it working?
