Description Zirneklitis 2015-02-22 01:39:18 UTC
Created attachment 994206 [details]
An exmple of errors in the ttf file.

Description of problem:

The ttf files are with errors.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

oldstandard-sfd-fonts-2.0.2-13.fc20

The same with oldstandard-sfd-fonts-2.0.2-15.fc21. The corrupted fonts has a very long history – the ttf files from package oldstandard-sfd-fonts-2.0.2-3.fc10 are already damaged.


How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open /usr/share/fonts/oldstandard/* files with any font viewer.


Actual results:

There is a garbage in place of letters (see the attached screen-shot)


Expected results:

Usable fonts.


Additional info:

I try to rebuilt this package from SRPM – no luck. The fontforge refuses to built usable ttf even by hand. There are two options to solve the issue:

1) To generate OTF not the TTF (preferred solution);

2) To use ready-made ttf from http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/old-standard-TT.

An example of the spec file for otf generation

Only some minor changes should be done in the spec file to generate fonts in otf format.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 13:42:19 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:30:49 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)
