Summary: Separate Japanese font configuration files for ghostscript
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507262
Summary: Separate Japanese font configuration files for ghostscript Product: Fedora Version: 11 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: japanese-bitmap-fonts AssignedTo: tagoh@redhat.com ReportedBy: t.matsuu@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: tagoh@redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs@redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora
I'm not sure which component should be assigned for this bug. So I initially assign this bug to japanese-bitmap-fonts because the files for discussion is now owned by japanese-bitmap-fonts package.
Description of problem: Now /usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/CIDFnmap.ja /usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/FAPIcidfmap.ja /usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/cidfmap.ja are owned by japanese-bitmap-fonts. But they never use fonts which are bundled in japanese-bitmap-fonts.
Moreover, fonts which are set in the config files are dispersed among some packages.
So we need to separate ghostscript contig files from japanese-bitmap-fonts and they should be provided by another package (or included in ghostscript or ghostscript-fonts package).
I suggest the following idea.
1. Universal /usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/{CIDFnmap.ja,FAPIcidfmap.ja,cidfmap.ja} is owned by new (eg. ghostscript-fonts-japanese), ghostscript, or ghostscript-fonts package.
2. Each Japanese fonts have their own CIDFnmap.ja, FAPIcidfmap.ja, and cidfmap.ja files i their common package.
Discussion required: * fonts priority * file owner for ghostscript config files * package structure of IPA fonts are not ready for generate common subpackage now (bug 507261)

--- Comment #6 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net 2009-06-22 02:28:38 EDT --- BTW, the main problem seems to be ghostscript requires a separate set of configuration files than the rest of the system. I suggest you focus on convincing the ghostscript people to use fontconfig like everyone else to find fonts. That will fix any future problem of this kind.

Well, if ghoscript now support font config we should certainly not add new cruft to its old font setup but on the contrary remove it and use fontconfig directly

Yes. I absolutely agree with you. When we can set config files for ghostscript with fontconfig support and it works fine, we should remove config files for ghostscript from font packages.
ghostscript-8.64 have "--disable-fontconfig" option for configure script and ghostscript on F11 is compiled with fontconfig.

I'm afraid it may breaks some situations like PS requires the font with CMap. I see current gs supports fontconfig but it doesn't work as alternatives for them.

I don't think having aliases in fontconfig config for all of CMaps is realistic. it could be a bug in gs but we shouldn't go without fixing this issue.

--- Comment #13 from Bug Zapper fedora-triage-list@redhat.com 2010-04-27 11:08:51 EDT ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. 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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'.
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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
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.
The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

--- Comment #14 from Takanori MATSUURA t.matsuu@gmail.com 2011-02-03 04:11:56 EST --- I've reverted component from ghostscript to japanese-bitmap-fonts.
CIDFnmap.ja, FAPIcidfmap.ja, and cidfmap.ja files have font lists which include only sazanami and vlgothic fonts. However those fonts are provided by another packages.
I suggest those *.ja files should be separated to another package. ie. ghostscript-chinese
And I hope the default Japanese fonts for ghostscript will be set to IPA fonts. :-) IPA fonts are higher quality than sazanami fonts and includes both mincho and gothic fonts under the same design policy.

--- Comment #15 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com 2011-02-03 04:38:40 EST --- I thought the direction of the past discussion was to get rid of those extra configuration files, relying on fontconfig completely to get the better fonts. so that would be better filing a separate bug for a workaround. assigning back to ghostscript.
Aside from that, having different fonts for displaying and printing isn't a good idea from the POV of WYSIWYG IMHO.
