Description of problem: urw-fonts provided more fonts than urw-base35-fonts provides. At least Helvetica (and its derivatives) are known to be missing. This causes test failures in ImageMagick, which requires a Helvetica font. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): urw-base35-fonts-20170801-1.fc28.noarch See: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/782 I think it is wrong to "Provides: urw-fonts" when you don't provide a replacement. Where can I grab a Helvetica font for ImageMagick now?
Hello Michael, I was actually looking into this yesterday after my colleagu (Petr Pisar) told me about it, and wanted to create a BZ for it with a patch. And please note that the problem is not in the urw-base35-fonts, but in the ImageMagick itself. Here's why: 1) First of all, the 'urw-base35-fonts' actually *do provide* Helvetica font. Here's the relevant fontconfig file provided with that package: ---------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <!-- Generic name aliasing --> <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Nimbus Sans</family> </prefer> </alias> <!-- Generic name assignment --> <alias> <family>Nimbus Sans</family> <default> <family>sans-serif</family> </default> </alias> <!-- Original PostScript base font mapping --> <alias binding="same"> <family>Nimbus Sans</family> <default> <family>Helvetica</family> </default> </alias> <!-- Font substitution rules --> <alias binding="same"> <family>Helvetica</family> <accept> <family>Nimbus Sans</family> </accept> </alias> <alias binding="same"> <family>TeX Gyre Heroes</family> <accept> <family>Nimbus Sans</family> </accept> </alias> </fontconfig> ---------------------------------------- As you can see, the 'urw-base35-fonts' are providing the Helvetica font substitution. (And it's actually the same font as before, but in newer version.) 2) The reason why the ImageMagick is not building is this file: > ImageMagick-6.9.9-13/config/type-ghostscript.xml.in If you look into this file, you will see this: <type name="Helvetica" fullname="Helvetica Regular" family="Helvetica" foundry="URW" weight="400" style="normal" stretch="normal" format="type1" metrics="@ghostscript_font_dir" glyphs="@ghostscript_font_dir"/> The ImageMagick is not using the (URW)++ fonts directly (as it IMHO should), nor it is using fontconfig (which it IMHO should even more). It is using *outdated* file names for the fonts, taken from ghostscript. Ghostscript, starting by version 9.20, is using new version of these fonts, with completely different file names. The 'urw-base35-fonts' fonts are the exact ones ghostscript is currently using for version 9.22, and was taken directly from repository maintained by ghostscript team (Artifex company). ->> As as result, this is a problem in ImageMagick, this is not a problem of 'urw-base35-fonts'. I will help you prepare a patch to workaround this (with a necessary pull-request in upstream), I will update ghostscript package to point correctly to these new fonts (so the @ghostscript_font_dir@ will still work for this workaround), and I will suggest upstream to use (preferably) the fontconfig for locating relevant fonts, because there are many other fonts that can be used as Helvetica replacement (your support in this matter would be appreciated). -- Dee'Kej --
Thanks, David.
I have createa a patch for ImageMagick to (hopefully) fix this. I'm trying the build for Rawhide now...

Michael, please make sure that the packages build against F26 and F25 are build against 'urw-fonts'. The new package (urw-base35-fonts) landed in testing repository for F26 and F25 by mistake, and I do not expect the package to make it there at all (it was unpushed). For F27 and Rawhide, we will be using the new urw-base35-fonts. :) Thank you! :)
According to the buildroot log the older package was used. https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/ImageMagick/6.9.9.15/1.fc26/data/logs/x86_64/root.log
Ah, okay, good to know. :) I'm not sure though, if there will be a rebuild required after the 'urw-base35-fonts' are released via Bodhi in F27... :-/
