Description Leonid Kanter 2002-01-29 08:50:20 EST

Description of Problem:

Current cups doesn't have include support for koi8-r and koi8-u encodings that
are being used for Russian and Ukrainian in Red Hat Linux. There is a patch that
adds support for koi8-r, koi8-u and also Hebrew (iso8859-8) encodings.

patch that adds support for koi8-r, koi8-u and iso8859-8

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-01-29 09:34:33 EST

Patch added in 1.1.13-1, please let me know if it works.

Comment 3 Leonid Kanter 2002-01-30 09:56:08 EST

Hmm, I forgot that this patch is not enough. The problem is that fonts in 
/usr/share/cups/fonts/ are without cyrillic glyphs and CUPS understand pfa
format. Fonts in /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 have all necessary cyrillic
glyphs, but they are in pfb. There are two ways to solve the problem:

1. Convert latest urw-fonts to pfa using t1ascii utility, rename to filenames
expected by CUPS and place in /usr/share/cups/fonts/. Uses much more space than
second way. 

2. Add pfb support to cups, remove fonts from /usr/share/cups/fonts/ and create
symlinks from there to /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 like this:
/usr/share/cups/fonts/AvantGarde-Book ->
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/a010013l.pfb and so on.

Which way would be preferable for Red Hat package? Both are verified.

Comment 4 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-01-31 07:03:14 EST

cups pstoraster will go away in the next release, maintaining it in 
ghostscript makes more sense.

Comment 5 Leonid Kanter 2002-02-01 09:53:53 EST

koi8-r and koi8-u support appeared yesterday in cups-1.1.13.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2002-10-07 16:53:52 EDT

So this is fixed in 1.1.15?
