Summary: Review Request: wqy-bitmap-fonts - a fine-tuned Chinese bitmap font https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230560 ------- Additional Comments From fangqq@xxxxxxxxx 2007-04-22 23:28 EST ------- hi Jens and Yijun I have been working on some other stuff and met some problems when using the upstream pcf tar ball as source. I just figured out the problem and compiled the new srpm. you can find the new spec and srpm files at Spec URL: http://wenq.org/release/08src/wqy-bitmap-fonts.spec SRPM URL: http://wenq.org/release/08src/wqy-bitmap-fonts-0.8.0-2.src.rpm diff: http://wenq.org/eindex.cgi?action=browse&diff=1&id=wqy-bitmap-fonts.spec&revision=9&diffrevision=7 to Jens: 1. We have been working on vector CJK fonts for two years, and we are expecting our first release this year. Because we developed our vector fonts in a quite general way, so, instead of generating a single font, you will find a families of fonts. To keep things simple and easy to manage, a separate project folder is highly desired, as /usr/share/fonts/dejavu* and /usr/share/fonts/bitstream* 2. the change log has been modified as you suggested 3. I updated Source to upstream 0.8.1-7, and use the exact file as source, so the md5sum should match now. to Yijun: I am glad to see you here, and thank you very much for help with the spec file. 1. I have seen /usr/share/fonts/bitmap-font folder in FC6, and also chinese/, zh_CN/, zh_TW/ folders, however, as in my reply to Jens, I felt it will be much more clear to keep wqy bitmap fonts under the wqy project folder. Debian xfonts-wqy maintainers put this font under misc, however, I have heard many complains such as X crashes when change settings for wqy fonts. It will be much safer to separate this font from others, because of the complex nature of this fonts (such as tricky fontconfig settings and accompanied fonts.alias file) 2. I saw you are using night-build GB18030 fonts as source. I do not recommend using the CVS version because of the following reasons: A. GB18030 fonts (including both CJK basic+CJK ext A glyphs) are for our next release (v1.0), which is still not publicly announced yet; all the documents, credits are not fully updated yet, font files are not fully tested and small number of wrong glyphs exist. B. version 1.0 is going to be 1/3 bigger than the 0.8.x version, I am thinking to use SFNT ttf as the format for the next release. In this case, the whole font file can be as small as 4M before compression. However, freetype seems not ready for SFNT ttf, please refer to the discussion to this issue at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2006-August/002365.html so, I have not decided which format to use. C. nightly-build files are overwritten everyday, I thought source referred to a downloadable link for the original file. a side note, the correct build method for nightly-build is "make wqyv1" or "make wqyv08" 3. I added install -d for both directories 4. %defattr I copied from other examples, is (-, root, root, -) a more commonly used attribute? 5. the only publicly available RPM for wqy font is the mandriva RPM "x11-font-wqy-bitmapfont", since it is a noarch RPM, so, I want to use conflict to block it. I am not sure if this is necessary. 6. for %ghost, I simply copied from fonts-japanese http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/fonts-japanese/fonts-japanese.spec?rev=1.25&view=markup 7. I think mkfontdir is in xorg-x11-font-utils, which is included in requires list sorry for the long reply. I am glad to hear back from both of you. thanks Qianqian -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
