Summary: non-latin fontconfig files should extend prefix range below 65 Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: fontpackages AssignedTo: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net ReportedBy: fangqq@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: tagoh@redhat.com, nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora
the Fedora fontconfig packaging guideline [1] limits non-latin fontconfig file prefix numbers to 65~69. This eliminates the possibilities to overwrite the upstream 65-nonlatin settings using per-font-config settings.
I suggest extending this range to 60~69, or even 50~69 for non-latin fonts, to avoid the difficulties such as reported in Bug#476459. See related discussions in [2].

--- Comment #2 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net 2010-07-04 03:48:18 EDT --- It is possible to order cjk fonts without extending this range, and the range was defined because too many cjk fonts inblude bad non-cjk glyphs, so it is not going to change unless fontconfig finaly grows a robust way to blacklist parts of a font
