Dear Fontconfig list,
I'm having problems using the same xlfd to match a font between X and FontConfig (v2.2.3),
for a font in which the foundry name is unknown (not set?).
If I call 'xlsfonts' to list all fonts, the foundry name for fonts with an unknown foundry
is reported as 'misc' in the xlfd. When this lfd is passed to X it returns the correct
font (as expected). Passing the same xlfd to FontConfig results in a match against a
different font. The matched font has a foundry name explicitly set to 'Misc' (for example
font 'console8x16').
I can reproduce this behavior if I run (JumBold is the family name of my sample font which
has an unrecognized font name):
xlsfonts -display :0.0 -fn -*-*-*-*-*--0-0-75-75-*-0-iso10646-1 | grep -i jumbold
which returns:
-misc-jumbold-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-p-0-iso10646-1
If I then search for this font using:
fc-list ":foundry=misc" : foundry family
Nothing is returned. However, setting to 'foundry=unknown' will successfully return the
font.
In a nutshell, X reports the foundry as 'misc' for fonts in which the foundry is
unknown, but FontConfig requires 'unknown' in the lfd to identify these same fonts. As FC
treats a foundry match as a higher priority than the family match, this results in an
incorrect match is foundry 'misc' is given.
Is the X / FontConfig behavior expected and correct?
I'm running FontConfig 2.2.3. on FedoraCore4.
Thanks,
~Andy
