Hello, Now that, with the new releases of RedHat, fontconfig is starting to be used by a lot of people, a problem has been reported with regard to recognising fonts as being suitable for the greek language. In particular, it seems that fontconfig fails to accept the majority of fonts as being adequate for this language. It seems that the problem is caused by the inclusion of four reduntant characters in the greek orthography information: 0374 GREEK NUMERAL SIGN 0375 GREEK LOWER NUMERAL SIGN 037A GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI 037E GREEK QUESTION MARK Out of those, the first two are only needed for greek numerals, sheldom used today; the third is only needed for ancient Greek, and the fourth is considered to be equivalent with 003B (semicolon), so it doesn't matter much. So it would be best to eliminate these four characters from the greek orthography, as shown by the attached (trivial) patch to el.orth. This problem was first reported by Sarantis Paskalis <sarantis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>. I observed it myself as well, so I took the liberty to report it here. Please "Reply to All", as I am not subscribed in this list. Thanks, Vasilis -- Vasilis Vasaitis vvas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +306976604701
