Summary: Incorrect Opentype Font Exporting and Printing
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: i586
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: urgent
Priority: low
Component: freetype
AssignedTo: besfahbo(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: zhoujingmiller(a)gmail.com

CC: besfahbo(a)redhat.com, kevin(a)tigcc.ticalc.org,
fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
I labelled this bug as relevant to freetype for it is related to font rendering
issues in general.
This problem could be reproduced as follows:
Open an odt file, with opentype fonts specified within, with abiword and export
(print) it to pdf. Use pdffonts to list the embedded fonts within in the pdf.
Then the terminal result shows that the opentype font is replaced by times new
roman.
Open an odt file, with opentype fonts specified within, with abiword and export
(print) it to ps. Then evince fails to open the file.
Open an odt file, with opentype fonts specified within, with kword (2.0 rc1),
under gnome, and export it to pdf. Then kword crashes. However if the file is
opened via kword under kde, kword then export the file to pdf, and pdffonts
show that the pdf does include the embedded "real" opentype fonts.
Set application font to some opentype fonts and open openoffice.org writer.
Then we will notice that the openoffice.org application font is not the
opentype font specified. Also, openoffice.org cannot use opentype fonts within
the document, nor can openoffice.org display opentype fonts correctly within
the document. The document mentioned above is an odt file. I didnt notice any
other application that has such behavior.
I am also sure that this problem is reproducible on fedora 10. However, since I
am using fedora 11 rawhide right now, I filed it as a fedora 11 bug.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freetype.i586 2.3.9-3.fc11
koffice-kword.i586 2:1.9.99.0-1.fc12
openoffice.org-writer.i586 1:3.1.0-9.2.fc11
pango.i586 1.24.1-1.fc11
pangomm.i586 2.24.0-1.fc11
qt.i586 1:4.5.0-14.fc11

kdebase-devel.i586 6:4.2.2-2.fc11
kdelibs.i586 6:4.2.2-5.fc11
Expected results:
Abiword, Openoffice.org, Kword, and all other applications are supposed to
export documents with opentype fonts to pdf with real opentype fonts, not with
any kind of other substitution fonts, and those applications are supposed to do
so under every desktop environment.

mapserver links to Bitstream Vera
It is a good idea to make the symlinks symlinks point to the corresponding
DejaVu (full) packages. DejaVu (full) is the most complete fork of Bitstream
Vera. It should include all the material present in Vera and its other
derivatives, plus multiple fixes. Since we install the DejaVu (full) packages
by default, dependencies on them will usually not pull in new packages on user
systems.

Created an attachment (id=343146)
--> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=343146)
language specific fontconfig settings for Japanese
The CJK language fontconfig settings has been a long-standing issue ever since
the beginning of using fontconfig. There hasn't been a good solution yet. The
major difficulties for causing this problem, IMO, include
1. the default 65-nonlatin.conf was badly outdated with unoptimized font orders
2. there are no CJK language-specific fontconfig files, therefore, to override
the default orders, one has to add font prefer list in the fontconfig settings
shipped with individual CJK font package.
3. because these settings were scattered into many font packages, this further
makes the problem complex, and the conflict between different CJK font packages
became more and more frequent.
To solve this issue, I propose the following solution
1. update 65-nonlatin.conf and setup an optimized and up-to-date font list
2. add language specific fontconfig settings, defining font preferred orders
with for a given lang tag, and assign these files a lower number than 65
3. remove all font order settings from all CJK related font packages
For solution step 1, I proposed a completely updated 65-nonlatin.conf at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20911 . My rationale of the font
orders was also explained in details.
For solution step 2, I created two default settings for ja and zh locales (that
for ko can be done similarly) as examples, and you can find them in the
attachments. Because I used lang tag matching in the rules, these files can be
installed concurrently (in this sense, it is better than the language-selector
in Ubuntu, which needs to run fontconfig-voodoo to link a set of active config
under a given language).
I did the following to test this proposal. From what I saw for zh-*, ja and en
locales, all the wanted features were working properly.
Here are the details of my test:
First, I did this test with rawhide updated this morning. On the system, I
installed chinese-support and japanese-support, including wqy-bitmap-fonts,
wqy-zenhei-fonts, arphic-uming, vlgothic-fonts and some mincho Japanese font.
To clean up all the font config settings, I "su" to root, and run the following
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
mkdir cjk
mv *wqy* cjk
mv *vlgo* cjk
mv *arphic* cjk
mv *gothic* cjk
This is just a quick way to get rid of all the font-wise preference settings.
In the future, most of these files can stay, as long as they remove the blocks
to set <prefer> or prepend family names.
The second step is to update (of course, make a backup first) the
65-nonlatin.conf by downloading from the attachment at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20911
Then, download the 55-language_fonts_ja-jp.conf and
55-language_fonts_zh-cn.conf from this thread and save them under
/etc/fonts/conf.d/ . This completes the settings.
For Chinese users, some of them prefer bitmap glyphs for Han characters (35%),
some prefer vectors (65%). This is controlled by installing wqy-bitmap-fonts or
uninstalling the bitmap fonts.
I tested my proposed settings for English, Japanese and Chinese languages, with
bitmap preferred settings and vector preferred settings. My screenshots for all
combination can be found at this online album:
http://picasaweb.google.com/fangqq/ProposalForFontconfigSettingsForCJKLan...
When bitmap font is installed, for en and zh desktops, fonts at sizes 9pt ~
12pt will be rendered as bitmaps for all font aliases (sans,serif, mono);
otherwise, it will be rendered by the respective vector fonts. Particularly,
for en desktop, no more font-mosaic problems caused by high priority of
Japanese fonts (such as
http://picasaweb.google.com/fangqq/ConfigScreenshot#5333302146968242258) . When
one remove the bitmap fonts, all Hanzi glyphs were rendered by the preferred
vector fonts, as expected (some remaining ones are from UMing, which I did not
disable).
For ja desktop, all fonts were rendered by their preferred vector fonts, no
matter bitmap Chinese fonts installed or not (please ignore "驿" and "阵" as they
are not defined in JIS).
I believe this approach greatly simplifies the CJK font settings by
centralizing the related settings to language specific files. All the expected
basic rendering order were achieved with the current proposed config files. Of
course one can fine-tune them further. For Korean users, a
55-language-fonts-ko.conf file can be made similarly.
It will be really great if this proposal can be tested and agreed by all CJK
font package maintainers.

Failure Case 1: gramps PDF generation
=====================================
gramps is a genealogy application that generates PDF charts. It seems to ask
pango to choose fonts for it based upon given glyphs.
* In Fedora 10, it successfully output charts using entirely truetype fonts.
* In Fedora 11 however, the UTF-8 Chinese characters are rendered in PDF as
bitmap fonts, which do not scale properly and are ugly compared to the truetype
equivalents.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576890
Behdad proposes this bug upstream, which would workaround this type of issue at
least for vector rendering cases like PDF generation. I am uncertain if this
is correct though, and it creates possibly inconsistent behavior?
Failure Case 2: pango-view
==========================
Here is a similar way to reproduce this bug:
LANG=en_US.utf8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "100"
LANG=zh_CN.utf8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "100"
English pango renders the Chinese characters as ugly bitmap.
Chinese pango renders the Chinese characters as truetype.
Workaround: uninstall wqy-bitmap-fonts
======================================
Both of the above problems go away if you uninstall wqy-bitmap-fonts. But this
should not be necessary.

Classification: Fedora
Various fonts in the smc-fonts package, especially smc-fonts-meera, which is
installed on every Fedora machine because of being being "default" in compts,
have default glyphs shaped like an R in circle for some Malayalam characters.
For example, Meera has the following default glyphs in places that it should
not have: U+0D44, U+0D62, U+0D63, U+0D71, U+0D72, U+0D73, U+0D74, U+0D79,
U+0D7A, U+0D7B U+0D7C, U+0D7D, U+0D7E, U+0D7F
Also, there are several default glyphs in places that Unicode may use for
future encoding of Malayalam characters, like U+0D00 and U+0D29.
All those R in cirlces should be removed from the font, to make the font
Unicode-complying. Alternatively, Meera can be replaced by a standard font.

I did a fresh installation of Fedora 9 using the network install method and
adding Office/Productivity software in addition to the default set. I'm seeing
undisplayable glyphs on the following pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation#Unicode
http://www.wikipedia.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet#Encoding
I would expect a default installation to be able to display all glyphs that
appear in Wikipedia, so that readers can learn about them. Many non-English
glyphs, even fairly obscure ones, are displayed properly, which is excellent.
It would be nice to finish off the rest. I don't know if this is a flaw in
Pango, if I would need to install additional font RPMs, or something else.
This is with firefox-3.0-1.fc9.i386 and pango-1.20.4-1.fc9.i386.
