Greetings -- I've had some problems installing fontconfig 2.2.94 -- it would exit with make error 139, which trawling the net showed to be alleviated by removing /usr/lib/X11/fonts/URW symlink, the only symlink there on my (heavily updated) SuSE 7.1, pointing to /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts. Later things would segfault if URW was put back or even replaced by a full copy, so I just sort of left it out. Now I have a problem with perl Gtk2/Pango, when trying to run a short script called massrorate. I posted to gtk-per list, but they say it's a fontconfig/Pango problem. That much I see, as gtk+ tests work by themselves, showing boxes with text. I attach the gtk-perl message for reference. The strange result is, massrotate would just segfault with no messages, until I'd run gtk+ tests from its build directory, tests/.libs/. Then it would create a ~/.font.cache-1 in my home directory, and massrotate would do a new trick: WARNING **: Cannot open font file for font Bitstream Charter 16 at /usr/local/bin/massrotate line 99. Segmentation fault Tracing in gdb shows it's pango. However, I was getting messages like unable to open default font configuration file, referring to fontconfig.org, so I guess it's a pango/fontconfig interplay. Does that warning above come from fontconfig? It installed /usr/local/etc/fonts/font.conf, and copying them around to /etc or ~/.fonts didn't help. I'm running xfs, while font.conf refers to explicit font directories -- where font.cache-1 properly exists. The 16 size above comes from my ~/.gtkrc-2.0, and Bitstream Charter seems to match everything. In fc-match, I get this: fc-match "Bitstream Charter 10" Efont_Serif.ttf: "Efont Serif" "Regular" And in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype, I see ls /usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ Efont_Serif.ttf Efont_Serif_B.ttf fonts.dir Efont_Serif_A.ttf Efont_Serif_BI.ttf fonts.scale Efont_Serif_A_B.ttf Efont_Serif_I.ttf fonts.scale.efont-serif-ttf Efont_Serif_A_BI.ttf encodings.dir Efont_Serif_A_I.ttf fonts.cache-1 So in order to show a little window to rotate a jpeg, I need to unravel the whole font architecture! :) Is it pango, in your opinion, or misconfigured fontconfig -- then how do I test the font *can* be rendered? I use the default font.conf, except removing the URW from there. -- Cheers, Alexy Khrabrov :: www.setup.org :: Age Quod Agis -------------- next part -------------- >From gtk-perl-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxx Thu May 20 15:58:31 2004 Return-Path: <gtk-perl-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxx> Received: from menubar.gnome.org (menubar.gnome.org [12.107.209.248]) by angle.badbox.com (8.12.10/8.12.5) with ESMTP id i4KJwV5p010509 for <list+gtk2perl@xxxxxxxxx>; Thu, 20 May 2004 15:58:31 -0400 Received: from menubar.gnome.org (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by menubar.gnome.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 33A3A3B0D6F; Thu, 20 May 2004 12:13:40 -0400 (EDT) X-Original-To: gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx Delivered-To: gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx Received: from angle.badbox.com (bgp543256bgs.ewndsr01.nj.comcast.net [68.38.148.149]) by menubar.gnome.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ADA323B0D71 for <gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx>; Thu, 20 May 2004 12:13:37 -0400 (EDT) Received: from angle.badbox.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by angle.badbox.com (8.12.10/8.12.5) with ESMTP id i4KGDs5p009058 for <gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx>; Thu, 20 May 2004 12:13:54 -0400 Received: (from alexy@localhost) by angle.badbox.com (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id i4KGDs9c009051 for gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx; Thu, 20 May 2004 12:13:54 -0400 Date: Thu, 20 May 2004 12:13:53 -0400 From: Alexy Khrabrov <list+gtk2perl@xxxxxxxxx> To: gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <20040520161353.GA9042%alexy.khrabrov@xxxxxxxxx> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1251 Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i-ja.1 X-DCC--Metrics: angle 1074; Body=1 Fuz1=1 Fuz2=1 X-Label: X-DCC--Metrics: angle 1074; Body=1 Fuz1=1 Fuz2=1 Subject: massrotate fontconfig, Gtk2 X-BeenThere: gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Using GTK+ with Perl <gtk-perl-list.gnome.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list>, <mailto:gtk-perl-list-request@xxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: </archives> List-Post: <mailto:gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx> List-Help: <mailto:gtk-perl-list-request@xxxxxxxxx?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list>, <mailto:gtk-perl-list-request@xxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe> Sender: gtk-perl-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxx Errors-To: gtk-perl-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxx Status: RO Content-Length: 1319 Lines: 37 Greetings -- I've found a simple script on freshmeat, massrotate, which allows to quickly apply lossless jpegtran rotation to digital photos. The simplest thing, it shows pictures and lets one choose which to rotate. It's in perl-Gtk2. http://freshmeat.net/projects/massrotate/ So I found my SuSE 7.1 lacking and got all the sources, glib, fontconfig, xft, libXrender, pango, atk, gtk+, ah! Compiles. All the tests in gtk+-2.4.1/tests/.libs/ work fine, showing windows with text, buttons with text, etc. perl -MCPAN -e shell, install Gtk2, ah! Installs. When I call massrotate, it says, WARNING **: Cannot open font file for font Bitstream Charter 16 at +/usr/local/bin/massrotate line 99. Segmentation fault It was doing just segfault until I removed /usr/lib/X11/fonts/URW. Same removal was needed while installing fontconfig-2.2.94 (and 2.2.2). Even replacing the URW, which was a (only) symlink to /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts, with the actual copy, didn't help then and now. I wonder where Gtk2 and Pango fail to load the fonts, even though stand-alone gtk+ tests do show text captions. -- Cheers, Alexy Khrabrov :: www.setup.org :: Age Quod Agis _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
