Summary: Review Request: wqy-unibit-fonts - a dual-width bitmap font for maximum unicode coverage https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=285561 ------- Additional Comments From fangqq@xxxxxxxxx 2007-09-14 20:09 EST ------- I found a bug in the bdf merging scripts and now there are 80 more glyphs added to the font. I bumped the minor version number and rename the submitted package to 1.1.0-1. the new files can be found at Spec URL: http://wenq.org/release/unibit/wqy-unibit-fonts.spec SRPM URL: http://wenq.org/release/unibit/wqy-unibit-fonts-1.1.0-1.src.rpm the spec file was patched, and the README file was cleaned. To your questions, gzip the font is not preferred. There has been numerous report on the performance degradation using the gzipped wqy-bitmapsong in the past, for example, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=384149 For big bitmap fonts (with more than 10000 glyphs), gzip the pcf file will produce noticeable latency when firefox loading webpages, causing the CPU load surging to 100%. If space is not a big issue, leaving the font un-zipped is preferred. Need to mention, the best bitmap format is SFNT TTF/OTF, in this case, it will only take <1M and has faster rendering. however, currently freetype/fontconfig does not support this format very well, please see http://www.nabble.com/SFNT-TTF-support-in-fontconfig-tf2132908.html#a5886457 On upstream version number, it is true that our current numbering scheme is different from Fedora's and some others. The last number is an accumulative major release number, rather than the update number for a particular release. However, to change this may cause some other problems, such as nightly build and cvs. So, let's leave it for now, and for packages submitted to Fedora, simply ignore the last number from upstream and use the update number instead. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
