PCF file used
I've attached the 4x6.pcf file used just in case it was asked for. There's nothing special about it, and the issue happens with other .pcf files as well.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative. It seems a rather simple fix is available for this. It could be applied directly to the code from what I can tell. Seems silly not to include it. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/fonttosfnt/commit/?id=4ecd697abe1026eb27e1373bf357ebca2ade4138 There are a few subsequent fixes in this area, but they seem to do more with non-GNU platforms which doesn't seem applicable to RHEL.

patch in question
This bug has been reported against RHEL 6.0, with no updates in the last 4 years. I tried to reproduces this here on a x86_64 VM and the command succeeds. xorg-x11-font-utils is not scheduled for an update in the next version of RHEL 6.x, I am thus closing this as WONTFIX. If you would like Red Hat to re-consider your feature request, please re-open the feature request via appropriate support channels and provide additional supporting details about the importance of this feature. |
