Description Remi Collet 2012-01-23 07:43:26 UTC
GraphicsMagick-1.3.12-6.fc16.x86_64

$ cat /usr/lib64/GraphicsMagick-1.3.12/config/type.mgk
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<typemap>
   <include file="type-windows.mgk" /> <include file="type-ghostscript.mgk" />
</typemap>

$ grep glyphs /usr/lib64/GraphicsMagick-1.3.12/config/type-windows.mgk
    glyphs="/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf"
    glyphs="/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ariblk.ttf"
    glyphs="/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arialbd.ttf"
    glyphs="/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arialbi.ttf"
    ...

The msttcorefonts are not part of fedora, so should be removed.

Default config should only include font files requires by the package.

So this package should requires "urw-fonts" which provides fonts listed in type-ghostscript.mgk

With current default config, applications which rely on 'getFonts' will crash

Ex: (from php-pecl-gmagick test suite)
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'GmagickException' with message 'Unable to read font (/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf)' in /dev/shm/php-pecl-gmagick-1.1.0/gmagick-1.1.0RC2/tests/gmagick-006-annotateimage.php on line 13

Silly me for assuming and hoping that GM would gracefully handle using these msfonts if present, and not crash otherwise.  Boo.

I'll take a look.  Will likely just omit support for msttcorefonts and add the dependency on urw-fonts ... as suggested.
