Bug ID: 1779123 Summary: Pango no longer supports type1 fonts Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Status: NEW Component: pango Assignee: pwu@redhat.com Reporter: mjg@fedoraproject.org QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: caillon+fedoraproject@gmail.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, gnome-sig@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, john.j5live@gmail.com, mclasen@redhat.com, pwu@redhat.com, rhughes@redhat.com, rstrode@redhat.com, sandmann@redhat.com, tagoh@redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Description of problem: In pango 1.44, pango dropped support for type1 fonts. Therefore, no application which uses pango for font loading can use type1 fonts any more.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pango-1.44.6-1.fc31.x86_64 (and later)
How reproducible: always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade F31 or rawhide 2. Open any pango-using application 3. Try to use type1 font
Actual results: No type1 font is usable
Expected results: Type1 font is usable
Additional info: bug 1753295 is the same bug for dropped bitmap font support. Over there, workarounds specific for bitmap fonts (conversion to opentype bitmap fonts) are discussed. An attempt to discuss type1 there failed.
This bug here is specifically about type1 fonts to discuss ways (or their absence) to deal with pangos dropped type 1 support.
