Description Joachim Frieben 2016-04-15 11:51:01 UTC

Sample font file clR9x15.pcf

Description of problem:
After upgrading to gnome-font-viewer-3.20.0-1.fc24, various fonts are merely shown as a white window, e.g. clR9x15.pcf.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-font-viewer-3.20.1-1.fc24

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install package xorg-x11-fonts-misc.
2. Open font file clR9x15.pcf in gnome-font-viewer.

Actual results:
gnome-font-viewer displays a white window.

Expected results:
gnome-font-viewer displays the chosen font set.

Additional info:
- After opening /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc in "Files", a fair number of fonts are merely represented by empty thumbnails.
- Issue also applies to TTF font file symbol.ttf.
- Prior to gnome-font-viewer-3.20.0-1.fc24, opening said font file would simply crash gnome-font-viewer, see bug 1309840.

Alternate font file clR9x15.pcf displayed correctly

Alternate version of clR9x15.pcf retrieved from https://github.com/rdebath/SLS-1.02/blob/master/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/clR9x15.pcf displayed correctly.

Comment 2 Joachim Frieben 2017-05-17 14:35:42 UTC
For the Fedora font file clR9x15.pcf, command 'file clR9x15.pcf' returns
  "X11 Portable Compiled Font data".
For the alternate font file clR9x15.pcf command 'file clR9x15.pcf' returns
  "X11 Portable Compiled Font data, LSB first".
