[Fontconfig] fontconfig and artwiz fonts, incompatibility
Hi, I maintain the FreeBSD port of artwiz''s font pack, this contains 14 fonts. The fonts themselves are supplied as .pcf.gz files. I''ve used these fonts successfully for about a year now and only with recent versions of fontconfig have I had problems. # fc-cache -vf ... fc-cache: "/usr/.../fonts/artwiz-fonts": caching, 4 fonts, 0 dirs ... # ls /usr/.../fonts/artwiz-fonts/*.pcf.gz | wc -l 14 When building the font cache only 4 of the fonts are recognised from the directory of 14. Additionally even the fonts which are recognised are not actually available to use. I have attached the font.cache file which is being generated in the hope it might provide clues. If someone could tell me what is wrong with these fonts, I''d appreciate it. I don''t believe they are maintained by the original author any longer. The fonts can be found here: http://www.cus.org.uk/~dom/distfiles/artwiz-fonts/artwiz-fonts.tar.bz2 The FreeBSD port can be found here: http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/x11-fonts/artwiz-fonts/ Software Versions: o fontconfig 2.2.1 o xfree86 4.3.0 Thanks, -- Dominic <dom at cus.org.uk> <dominic.marks at npl.co.uk> -------------- next part -------------- "drift.pcf.gz" 0 "LucidaTypewriter:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=100:width=100:pixelsize=10:spacing=100:foundry=B&H:antialias=False:index=0:outline=False:scalable=False:charset= y(9!t|>^1!|>^1!|>^1! |>]rx|>^1!P0oWQ:lang=aa|ay|bi|br|ch|da|de|en|es|eu|fj|fo|fur|fy|gd|gl|gv|ho|ia|id|ie|io|is|it|lb|mg|nb|nl|nn|no|oc|om|pt|rm|sma|smj|so|sq|sv|sw|tn|ts|vo|wa|xh|yap|zu:fontversion=0" "edges.pcf.gz" 0 "Outcast:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=100:width=100:pixelsize=10:spacing=100:foundry=Misc:antialias=False:index=0:outline=False:scalable=False:charset= |>^1!|>^1!|>^1!|>^1!|>^1!|>^1!|>^1!|>^1!:lang=aa|ast|ay|bi|br|ch|da|de|en|es|eu|fj|fo|fur|fy|gd|gl|gv|ho|ia|id|ie|io|is|it|lb|mg|nb|nl|nn|no|oc|om|pt|rm|sma|smj|so|sq|sv|sw|tn|ts|vo|wa|xh|yap|zu:fontversion=0" "glisp-bold.pcf.gz" 0 "Lucida:style=Bold:slant=0:weight=200:width=100:pixelsize=10:foundry=B&H:antialias=False:index=0:outline=False:scalable=False:charset= |>^1!|>^1!O}2R~ :lang=:fontversion=0" "glisp.pcf.gz" 0 "Lucida:style=Bold:slant=0:weight=200:width=100:pixelsize=10:foundry=B&H:antialias=False:index=0:outline=False:scalable=False:charset= |>^1!|>^1!OoQNP :lang=:fontversion=0"
