Description Peng Wu 2010-05-24 06:36:22 UTC

In Simplified Chinese (SC for short) and Traditional Chinese (TC for short), many characters has different writing styles, so it has better use different fonts for SC and TC.
In order to provides better fonts for SC and TC users, UMing will be the default font for TC, and ZenHei will be the default font for SC.

The purpose of this change is:
1. When use Simplified Chinese (SC for brief) locale to login Fedora gdm, all default desktop fonts will use WenQuanYi;
2. When use Traditional Chinese (TC for brief) locale to login Fedora gdm, all default desktop fonts will use UMing.

For wqy-zenhei-fonts:

The needed changes for wqy-zenhei-fonts is:
1. Please remove 44-wqy-zenhei.conf 65-wqy-zenhei.conf.
2. Add two fontconfig candidates for wqy-zenhei-fonts, one for antialias font (65-0-wqy-zenhei.conf is default), another is bitmap font (65-0-wqy-zenhei-sharp.conf).
3. In future, a new tool (zenheiset) to choose one of 65-0-wqy-zenhei-sharp.conf and 65-0-wqy-zenhei.conf. (maybe in this release, or next release.)

44-wqy-zenhei.conf is removed, as fontconfig can deduce most values correctly from wqy-zenhei.ttc. If there are explict reasons for keeping any options, the options in this file will be added back.
And I tested without 44-wqy-zenhei.conf on Fedora 13, the font displays OK. :)

for wqy-microhei-fonts:

The needed changes for wqy-microhei-fonts is:
1. Please remove 65-wqy-microhei.conf.

As the default font for SC is wqy-zenhei, wqy-microhei is just another SC font. Remove this config will make wqy-zenhei always be the default font for SC users as UMing is always the default, I think wqy-zenhei is more mature than wqy-microhei.

For more details and reasons, please see also README.en on http://pwu.fedorapeople.org/fonts-conf.

Comment 1 Peng Wu 2010-05-24 06:40:47 UTC

Hi Qianqian Fang,
  This proposal passed review by Akira TAGOH.
  If you think these changes are OK, I will begin to land these changes on Fedora 13.

Comment 2 Qianqian Fang 2010-05-24 17:32:36 UTC

go ahead, looks fine to me. Please test it with various locales (CJK and English) after making the change. Particularly, make sure there is a consistent Chinese font for non-CJK locales by default.

Comment 3 Peng Wu 2010-05-25 02:47:40 UTC

OK, thanks. will test the above locales.
As there are 3-4 font packages to modify, just be patient. :)

Comment 4 Peng Wu 2010-05-25 06:36:38 UTC

Checked with l10n-font-template.conf,
Added the following to UMing and WenQuanYi:
  <alias>
    <family>[fontname]</family>
    <default>
      <family>[genericname]</family>
    </default>
  </alias>
.
