Hide Forgot
Description of problem: When I look at a graph created in Sweave that has been compiled into a pdf in Evince then the points in the graph are represented as 'q' not as points. This always happens. I filed this bug upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21395 and they informed that this has been fixed but I checked to see if it had in rawhide and it is still present. A temporary fix is to ~/.fonts.conf <!-- many PDFs use ZapfDingbats rather than Zapf Dingbats --> <alias binding="same"> <family>ZapfDingbats</family> <accept><family>Dingbats</family></accept> </alias> How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. View the pdf that is attached in that upstream bug report Actual results: See 'q' instead of points Expected results: See points instead of 'q'
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
After reading of http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21395, it seems that this is a problem of the 'fontconfig' package. => reassigning Marek
In current F12 with updates, I still see this bug and need the ~/.font.conf workaround.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. 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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Re-assigning to f12 per comment #3

Still present in F14. Work-around still "fixes" it.
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This bug is still present and should be reopened.
Created attachment 491833 [details] Graph where q should be replaced by points I am attaching a pdf that demonstrates this wrong behavior. Again, appending the ~./.fonts.conf file still works.
I have the same problem. The plots are generated with the lattice package for R. I am sure that many people will have the same problem, but do not enter it into the bugzilla. Please fix it. It is just one line to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
Oh, and I'm on Fedora 15.
