Comment 1 Pravin Satpute 2010-06-11 06:47:30 UTC

version inside fonts both your link and one we have in rawhide is still 001.000

but in README, rawhide presently looks very old 2002/03 something
and one you pointed is showing date 2008, so this looks updated

and some more.

are these same provided by http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html?

if yes i think we can stop shipping ucs-miscfixed-fonts and may be improve xorg x11 font package

peterson also pointed it long time back

Comment 4 Nicolas Mailhot 2010-06-12 14:10:04 UTC

Currently  ucs-miscfixed-fonts is packaged according to guidelines and xorg-x11-fonts-misc is a legacy mess no one seems to want to take the time to clean up. So if one of those was to be killed, it should not be ucs-miscfixed-fonts

Comment 5 Pravin Satpute 2010-06-13 06:31:05 UTC

yeah, we did a lots of work for cleaning on bitmap-fonts

if i package with latest upstream version (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz), it will get installed in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ , off course we can change the path

and i can see most of these fonts in /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/ from xorg-x11-fonts-misc

i think this is time we can do some decision making, may be decide which are duplicate and patch xorg-x11-fonts package

Comment 6 Nicolas Mailhot 2010-06-13 09:02:32 UTC

The target should be to kill /usr/share/X11/fonts/, by migrating bits to /usr/share/fonts/ when their packaging is cleaned up, and declaring the parts of /usr/share/fonts/ that need exposure as X11 core fonts in /etc/fonts/conf.d

Right now /usr/share/X11/fonts/ is just a legacy placeholder for things that need cleaning up

Comment 7 Nicolas Mailhot 2010-06-13 09:04:01 UTC

(of course for the X11 core fonts declaration to work you also need to add the horrible fonts.foo core font indexes to your directory)

from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html:

---cut---
- Distribution

I periodically contribute a recent snapshot of all of the above fonts to XFree86 and they have been shipping as part of the XFree86 releases since XFree86 4.1. I have also made them available to X.Org for inclusion into one of the next official X11 distributions as a replacement for the current ISO 8859-1 BDF fonts (hopefully they will be in X11R6.7). The copyright status of these fonts remains the same as for the original fonts in the X11 distribution, therefore any X11 server vendors are welcome to include them into their products without payment of royalties.

I'm sorry, I'm going to delete my bz count.

> Closing a/c is no reason to close bug...    

I have no problem in updating these as per the upstream tarball, but same fonts are provided by xorg-x11-fonts-misc

so we should decide what to do for this bug

best case i can do is, select the set of fonts presently provided by ucs-miscfixed-fonts from new tarball. and build same.

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 11:44:41 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Please go ahead and follow up the packaging guidelines.

Comment 14 Pravin Satpute 2011-02-16 08:01:17 UTC

sure, will update the fonts present in package

I checked for myself, font-misc-misc-1.1.2.tar.bz2(Xorg) vs. ucs-fonts.tar.gz(mgk25). And the _base_ fonts are the same.

Only the head was changed:

12x13ja.bdf
18x18ja.bdf
18x18ko.bdf
k14.bdf
nil2.bdf

and ucs-fonts.tar.gz(mgk25) brings these new ones:

clR6x12.bdf
helvR12.bdf

ping !

Comment 18 Pravin Satpute 2011-05-19 05:30:49 UTC

Hi Xose,

I am thinking to build this packages by updating fonts we are presently shipping in ucs-miscfixed-fonts as per upstream latest release.

As you said there are two new fonts in ucs-fonts.tar.gz, i will add clR6x12.bdf
helvR12.bdf also in ucs-miscfixed-fonts.

anything more you want to suggest?

Comment 19 Pravin Satpute 2011-05-19 11:17:38 UTC

i did scratch build http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3080992

still need some work on .conf file.

New tarball have .bdf files instead of .pcf files

please let me know your comments of scratch build

Comment 20 Akira TAGOH 2011-05-19 11:33:15 UTC

Please make sure if fc-query works for those fonts. fontconfig skips the bdf fonts not having PIXEL_SIZE property so far.

Thanks for pointing to fc-query
Dunno after gzip fonts were not working with fc-query, now i have removed gzip also improved .conf file
