Description of problem: I use tkabber (tcl/tk application) for xmpp messaging. Updateing to latest package 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 (now) broke tkabber interface. All in tkabber interface looks "l i k e t h i s ". For interface i use in tkabber config: set font "-misc-dejavu sans-medium-r-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1" option add *font "-misc-dejavu sans-medium-r-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" userDefault and it works fine with 2.3 package from fc5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dejavu-fonts-2.4.1-2.fc6 dejavu-fonts-fontconfig-2.4.1-2.fc6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.update dejavu-fonts to 2.4.1 2.run tkabber 3.look broken interface :( Actual results: Broken interface Expected results: Additional info:
DejaVu is not intended to be used with the old legacy core font system. Dejavu is a font with wide coverage and modern truetype features and will probably break the old backend in several strange and wonderful ways. Unless you can reproduce this with a fontconfig app, I'll mark this as NOTABUG. 1. we intentionnaly do not register dejavu in XFS 2. fonts actually registered in XFS are not intended to be used with iso10646-1 encoding and are broken up in many encoding-specific files 3. any sane internationalised GUI app switched to fontconfig long ago (why am I not surprised it's not the case for tcl/tk?)
