Bugzilla – Bug 155667
Khmer font not available after reboot during installation
Last modified: 2006-03-08 11:54:21 UTC
I can start the installation in Khmer but when I reboot after the first CD I get no Khmer on the screen, only squares. I assume that there is no Khmer font in the installed system yet. The KhmerOS-font package is meanwhile on the media (see also Bug #148207) but the problem is that it is not on the first CD. Therefore the fonts are not available after the reboot. I see two ways to solve this: 1. moving the KhmerOS-font package to CD1 2. if there is not enough space on CD1, splitting the KhmerOS-font package up in two. A small package with KhmerOS-system font for CD1 and the rest for another CD.
Stefan: Please add a comment here.
Larcs, can we still add KhmerOS-font to CD1?
Same problem with Japanese and Korean, - for Japanese, the package "sazanami-fonts" should be on CD1. - for Korean, the package "unfonts" should be on CD1. - for Chinese it seems to be OK already because ttf-founder-traditional and ttf-founder-simplified were both on CD1. Adding Zhe Su <zsu@novell.com> to CC: to make sure that the Chinese fonts are really there.
I'll try to do my best to keep 423K on CD1 for KhmerOS-fonts. ;-) But 8.2M for sazanami-fonts (CD5 at the moment) and 16M for unfonts (CD2) are too much. If possible, please split up these packages. Otherwise I'll try at least to move sazanami-fonts to CD2 or CD3 - but this will not solve the problem during installation.
Set to needinfo. Do you have any proposal for the two big fonts?
The sazanami fonts could be split to sazanami-gothic and sazanami-mincho. This will halve the size. Only the former is needed for installation.
Close as duplicate of bug 156045, Klaus Kämpf said this is a generic problem not related especially to Khmer and we should better discuss the possible solutions in a seperate bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 156045 ***
