Summary: fonts.dir refers to non-existent .bdf files, breaking
accesses
Product: Fedora
Version: 9
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Component: fonts-KOI8-R
AssignedTo: than(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: goeran(a)uddeborg.se
QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: than(a)redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
The file /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc/fonts.dir contains two entries for each
font, one for the pcf.gz file and one for a bdf file that isn't included in the
package. Apparently, the presence of the bdf entry breaks accesses to these
fonts. As an example, it contains:
9x15s.bdf -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-koi8-ub
9x15s.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-koi8-ub
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fonts-KOI8-R-1.0-10.fc8.noarch
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fonts-KOI8-R
2. xfd -fn 9x15
Actual results:
Warning: Cannot convert string "9x15" to type FontStruct
xfd: no font to display
Expected results:
A window with the font displayed.
Additional info:
The bug can be avoided by rerunning mkfontdir in /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc.
(And trigger the X server to reread its font files.) But there is no RPM
script or other automatic way this is done. It must be done "by hand" after
installation by the system administrator. And after doing this, the package
fails a verify check by RPM.
