Description Robert Scheck 2007-12-19 15:19:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
There are some problems with third party software due invalid font names. I 
attached a patch which solves the problem for me and which should hurt nobody. 
Can you please build this fix for F8 and Rawhide? Thank you.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
urw-fonts-2.4-2

How reproducible:
Currently everytime when using the third party software.

Actual results:
Problems with third party software due invalid font names

Expected results:
Working third party software and no invalid font names any longer... ;-)

Oh please note, that this problem also will affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,
if this patch is not applied before the branching.
Comment 3 Than Ngo 2007-12-19 15:50:31 UTC 
Robert, could you please give more details how i can reproduce it?
which software should i install? Thanks
Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2007-12-19 16:01:38 UTC 
Ngo, it's the Pentaprise Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP2) system. But you 
really don't want to try to reproduce that. The installation is only in German,
you've to be knowledged with that ERP system as well and the problem appears
there when trying to print something. The support from Pentaprise pointed us to
this cause when debugging it.

I'm very sorry, that I can't provide you more information. If you really need
to reproduce this problem, I could try to setup a demo system within a virtual 
machine this evening maybe.
Comment 5 Than Ngo 2007-12-20 15:35:41 UTC 
Robert, i will send your patch to upstreamer and ask if he could review the 
fix.
Comment 6 Than Ngo 2008-01-08 20:09:55 UTC 
the fix is included in upstream urw-fonts-1.0.7pre44.tar.bz2. I already built 
it in rawhide. Thanks for the patch
Comment 7 Robert Scheck 2008-01-08 20:16:17 UTC 
Credit goes to my colleague and the helpful guys of Pentaprise GmbH. Just one 
question: Can you build the next urw-fonts for Fedora 8 (and maybe Fedora 7) as 
well?
Comment 8 Than Ngo 2008-01-09 15:40:35 UTC 
it will also be available for Fedora 7/8 in next day!
