https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=276577 ------- Comment #3 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-05-21 07:59 MST ------- Reassigned to Jürgen Weigert. As this is a commercial font, we certainly cannot fix that. But maybe we should report this to Agfa/Monotype or whoever licenses this font to us. And/or maybe we should not package this broken font in our agfa-fonts package anymore (until we get a fixed version by the font maker). Does anybody know whether there some weird application needs a font which is exactly broken in this way? Could anything break if we just remove it? I doubt it, but I just want to make sure. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=276577 ------- Comment #9 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-05-22 03:26 MST ------- Jürgen> Michael, do you have a forum to discuss this with upstream? Somebody must have upstream contacts. Where did these fonts come from? If we cannot get upstream to fis the font, I think we should remove “Monotype Sorts” from the package in order to avoid problems with such a broken font. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=276577 ------- Comment #11 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-05-23 16:16 MST ------- Christian Boltz> BTW: What sort of problems do you expect? Unreadable text. Christian Boltz> (Unreadable text is expected behaviour on icon fonts, Christian Boltz> so it doesn't count as bug.) No, it is not. Correct symbol fonts have the symbols at their correct Unicode positions. See the other symbols fonts, for example - OpenSymbol (from OpenOffice, /usr/lib64/ooo-2.0/share/fonts/truetype/opens___.ttf) - Dingbats (from ghostscript-fonts-std-8.15.3-46, /usr/share/fonts/URW/d050000l.pfb) - ... These have the symbols at their correct Unicode positions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
