The web Prohibit me to enter some chinese character... 中國龍毛楷體 should be ä¸å龿¯æ¥·é« *** Bug 85184 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** X Logical Font Descriptors are defined to be in the X Portable Character Set; you can't have a Chinese font name. I suspect that with current versions of freetype and 'mkfontscale' (ttmkfdir uses freetype1) things will come out better with a real ASCII name rather than $$$$. Quite a bit of attention has been put into making freetype-2.1.x pick the best ASCII name from a font. Unfortunately, ttmkfdir is run on every font directory on xfs startup, so will erase whatever fonts.scale you have there will get overwritten. I don't think this problem will get fixed until we get rid of ttmkfdir, but reassigning to that component. Could you please attach ID009.TTF here, so I can take a look. Thanks. The fonts files is a bit big in size (about 5~6) MB do you really want it to be uploded? I think it is fine, or you could tell us how to download from other places. If the font is a commercial font, please don't attach it here, since we don't have any easy way of deleting attachments. I would mail it to Yu Shao as an attachment, or mail him a link to where he can download it. Ok I'll send to Yu Shao. BTW, This this is happen to RH9 as well. Chan Min Wai, I didn't receive the font, I will close it now, if it is still an issue, please reopen it. Sorry for this long long delay. http://hanyi.com.cn/8000/html/8000.htm Please download the Big5 fonts or GB fonts here. I've try them it is usable in Redhat 9 / Fedora. Because the name isn't loaded correctly, So When you add 1 fonts, The Fonts server added one new "unknow" fonts. But after that, when you add the 2nd ~ 4th fonts, There is Still ONLY one "unknow" fonts because fontconfig can't read it name. This Page have some of the hack that Might help But they are not accept by the main branch YET. http://firefly.idv.tw/test/Forum.php?Board=1&History=0&Page=1 Thank You And Sorry for the long delay. All entries of the name table's language ids are set as specific language names like "simplified chinese" or "traditional chinese", even it is ASCII string, it is a bug of font files. So please contact font vendor, will close it as NOTABUG. |
