Description of problem: even if the font itself doesn't have a glyph being assigned to the certain code point, other one appears there and totally get scrambled at the Latin-1 supplement. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): motoya-lmaru-fonts-1.00-0.1.20100928git.fc14.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run gucharmap 2.select MotoyaLMaru 3.see Latin-1 supplement
I'm not convinced that this is a bug in these fonts, although it is possible to work around it by changing them. Lmaru and lcedar contain Format 0 and Format 4 cmap subtables. The format 0 subtable is for Mac byte mappings, and the Format 4 is for Windows Unicode BMP mappings. Examining the Format 4 subtable shows that there are only 11 glyphs mapped between U+0080 and U+00FF. However, gucharmap shows many more Lmaru glyphs here. I suspect that gaps in this area are being filled in incorrectly by also using the Format 0 subtable. Removing the cmap format 0 subtable corrects this problem, and all available Lmaru glyphs are shown in their proper locations, as far as I've been able to judge. Unfortunately, I have only managed to construct the font with work-around on RHEL5, as fonttools/ttx on Fedora has a bug which prevents Lmaru being rebuilt from a TTX file (bug #688713). (My apologies Akira; I've been trying to solve that one before filing the bugs you asked me to file on these fonts.) So, I think that the _real_ bug is present in whichever component of the font stack uses both subtables to place random glyphs at odd encodings, but I don't know where to assign that one.
Right. this simply works for a workaround though, I guess the real issue should be in freetype as the rendering library.
There seems the apple roman support code in fontconfig and getting rid of those code fixes this issue.
