Problem description: According to following URL: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2005-August/msg00017.html On FC4, it can create Asian TrueType font encoding entries on fonts.scale. On FC5, even if ttmkfdir-3.0.9-19.2.1 package has the latest fix, it seems fonts.scale does not have TrueType font encoding entries: ======================================================= $ cat /usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType/fonts.scale 19 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-ascii-0 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso10646-1 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-10 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-13 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-15 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-2 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-3 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-4 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-5 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-7 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-9 sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-koi8-r sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-koi8-ru sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-ascii-0 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso10646-1 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-15 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-9 ======================================================= This was seen and fixed in RHEL4 in https://enterprise.redhat.com/issue-tracker/?module=issues&action=view&tid=82230&gid=43
ttmkfdir is not part of xorg-x11.
Move to ttmkfdir.
It seems to be same as bug204893.
I found the reason which creates this bug is relative to encodings.dir of X11. The encodings.dir of FC-5 (/usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir) doesn't include the encodings in the "large" sub-dir, so encodings.dir doesn't include the CJK encodings. Then ttmkfdir can not find the CJK encodings through scaning encodings.dir, therefore, there are not CJK encodings in the fonts.dir which is created by ttmkfdir. The encodings.dir of RHEL-4 (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir) includes the encodings in the "large" sub-dir, so there are CJK encodings in the fonts.dir. So I think this bug is not a bug of ttmkfdir, but a bug of encodings.dir of X11. encodings.dir of FC-5 must include the encodings in the "large" sub-dir. I need some information which the maintainer of X11 gives me about encodings.dir of X11. Thanks.
