Comment 1 Mike Fabian 2006-02-13 19:39:26 UTC

These fonts shouldn't be listed by fontconfig at all because these are
ISO-8859-15 encoded fonts and fontconfig supports only ISO-8859-1 and
ISO-10646-1.

They were listed by fontconfig because they lacked some BDF
properties.  Not only the FOUNDRY and FAMILY_NAME were missing, also
CHARSET_REGISTRY and CHARSET_ENCODING. I added the following BDF
properties:

    FONTNAME_REGISTRY ""
    FOUNDRY "Efont"
    FAMILY_NAME "Fixed"
    WEIGHT_NAME "Medium"
    SLANT "R"
    SETWIDTH_NAME "Normal"
    ADD_STYLE_NAME ""
    PIXEL_SIZE 24
    POINT_SIZE 240
    RESOLUTION_X 75
    RESOLUTION_Y 75
    SPACING "C"
    AVERAGE_WIDTH 120
    CHARSET_REGISTRY "ISO8859"
    CHARSET_ENCODING "15"

Fixed intlfnts package submitted to NOARCH.

Comment 3 Mike Fabian 2006-02-13 19:57:27 UTC

A similar problem exists for other fonts as well:

Comment 6 Mike Fabian 2006-02-13 20:12:46 UTC

The fontconfig on SuSE 10.0 didn't list such broken pcf fonts at all.

Comment 7 Mike Fabian 2006-02-13 20:36:11 UTC

According to comment #6 it might be easiest to fix fontconfig to
ignore fonts where such BDF properties are missing.  Then we can avoid
fixing all broken fonts individually.

Comment 8 Mike Fabian 2006-02-13 21:30:47 UTC

Created attachment 68185 [details]
ignore-broken-bitmap-fonts.patch

The attached patch fixes the problem by ignoring all bitmap fonts
which lack the BDF property FAMILY_NAME.

This causes all broken bitmap fonts listed above to be ignored
by fontconfig.

Comment 9 Mike Fabian 2006-02-13 21:33:00 UTC

Improved fontconfig submitted to STABLE:

- Bugzilla #150552: ignore broken bitmap fonts which don't even
  have a BDF property FAMILY_NAME.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Closing as FIXED.
