Description of problem: The 'urw-fonts' package is now obsolete and has been replaced with new 'urw-base35-fonts', which is being kept up-to-date. 'urw-fonts' will be dropped at the end-of-life of Fedora 27. Please, update your specfile and make sure your package builds/works properly with new version of the (URW)++ fonts. In case you find some problem, open a new BZ for your component and put me into CC so I try to help you deal with that issue. Thank you! :) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated pull-request: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/htmldoc/pull-request/1
pull request merged, thanks.
Ugh, so looking through the build of htmldoc, it appears the path to all/most of the urw-fonts have changed, so this will need more work (from me). Re-opening to document and track that.
Does the upstream has any way of detecting the fonts path? Either via fontconfig or ./configure? If not, you can utilize the 'urw-base35-fonts-devel' subpackage. It will automatically pull-in all the urw-base35 fonts, and it will provide you with RPM macro %{urw_base35_fontpath}. This macro contains the fullpath to the urw-base35 fonts directory.
OK, thanks. Upstream currently bundles all fonts... we're patching downstream to use system copies, so we need to know both the location and names of them all (using symlinks in the current hackish implementation)

If you would like to see how I'm dealing with this in its specfile, you can check this: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ghostscript/blob/master/f/ghostscript.spec#_351
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle. Changing version to '28'.
Rex, can we close this BZ, or is there still some issue with the fonts?
I was keeping it open because the new htmldoc does not actually use any urw-fonts ... yet. But I can track that in a separate bug if you prefer.
No, it's OK, you can keep it open. :) I just wanted to check. ;)
Hello Rex, what's the status of this BZ? Does the htmldoc still needs fixing? :)
Yes
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '28'. 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 28 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.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
