[Bug 1753295] New: Pango no longer supports bitmap fonts
by bugzilla@redhat.com
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1753295
Bug ID: 1753295
Summary: Pango no longer supports bitmap fonts
Product: Fedora
Version: 31
Status: NEW
Component: pango
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: jsbillin(a)umich.edu

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
In pango 1.44, pango dropped support for bitmap fonts, so font packages like
terminus-fonts and ucs-miscfixed-fonts no longer appear in GNOME applications
that use pango, such as Terminal. If you did a dnf system-upgrade from Fedora
30 and were using a bitmap font like Terminus, all your terminals will show the
rectangular placeholders the first time you start a terminal.
Bitmap fonts like terminus and ucs-miscfixed are much easier to read in a
terminal since they are pixel perfect. If Fedora 31 is going to disable
support for bitmap fonts, it needs to be announced and the package maintainers
of those bitmap font packages are going to need to find a way to convert their
fonts.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango-1.44.6-1.fc31.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 'terminus-fonts'
2. Start GNOME terminal
3. Open Terminal Preferences
4. Attempt to change the font to Terminus font
Actual results:
If you upgraded from Fedora 30 and had Terminus fonts as the default font, the
first time you launch Terminal, all the text will be the rectangular
placeholders. If you search for the Terminus font in the preferences, you
won't be able to find it.
Expected results:
Use the Terminus font as usual
Additional info:
It appears that pango switched from using FreeType to HarfBuzz, which only
supports truetype. I rebuilt the Fedora 30 pango package (1.43) for Fedora 31,
downgraded it, and now my terminals are fine showing my bitmap fonts.

[Bug 1952727] New: daewoo-misc are (potentially) proprietary
by bugzilla@redhat.com
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1952727
Bug ID: 1952727

Depends On: 1952723
Target Milestone: beta
Classification: Red Hat
Pool ID: sst_graphics_infrastructure_rhel_9
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1952723 +++
Description of problem:
The daewoo-misc fonts are potentially proprietary, the only information in
COPYING is:
"Copyright (c) 1987, 1988 Daewoo Electronics Co.,Ltd."
These fonts were first present in X11R5 (1991), see the
fonts/bdf/misc/hanglg16.bdf file and similar. The COPYING file we use now is
from the COPYRIGHT line in the .bdf file, other fonts (e.g. the schumacher
ones) seem to have COMMENT: lines to explain the terms.
I can't find any other information about license terms for this font but given
the age of the copyright notice, I'm not very hopeful either.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-fonts-7.5-30.fc34

[Bug 1427550] [ta_IN] Adding additional Glyphs in Tamil
by bugzilla@redhat.com
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1427550
--- Comment #18 from Fedora Program Management <fedora-pgm(a)bot.bugzilla.redhat.com> ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with
a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
