Do we have a package for them?
Yes, package name "wqy-microhei-fonts` in OSS, developed at M17N:fonts
This is good news!
If I'm not mistaken, this is the "old approach" to define and use fonts in FOP. I had the impression that you don't have to create metrics files anymore. FOP searches all fonts for you.
Could you try to do the same, but without any metrics?
Oh yes, I commented fop.xconf and they still work well.
Brilliant! According to the link that I've sent you, FOP 1.1 doesn't need metrics anymore. So I guess it's better to avoid them altogether.
[...] it was a copy and paste error.
I see, then I'll SR a patch to suse-xsl-stylesheets. As they're not on git, I can just open a ticket on sf.
Please do. :) We could add that as a requirement/recommendation for the suse-xsl-stylesheet package.
These are commercial fonts. As I'm not familiar with Chinese and its typography, could you recommend a good Chinese font? Preferably open source. :))
I recommend wqy-*-fonts.
Good. I guess we need all, right?
wqy(文泉驿) is the main open source project for Chinese fonts:
http://wenq.org/wqy2/index.cgi?Home
led by Chinese students in MIT. They provided an easy to use web interface to create fonts. Every user can contribute, thus their fonts covered a lot more glyphs than any commerical fonts. BTW, the Chinese part of Google Droid fonts are based on this project.
Actually modern linux (sles needs to be stable, so it's a little "old") all use their fonts as default.
And using wqy can avoid the problem that you have to install "FZSongTi", then openSUSE automatcially set it as your ugly display font. FZ fonts are used for printing, they didn't display well on LC/EDs.
Thanks for the information, I didn't know. :)
Could you send us your fixes? Just to let you know, tomorrow is a public holiday in Germany and I'm not here for the next 3 weeks. Probably one of my collegues will take and submit your patches.
Sure. I'll fix suse-xsl-stylesheets and susedoc.
You can omit susedoc as this is really too old and we don't support that anymore. Any fixes should go into daps or suse-xsl-stylesheets packages now.
Holiday is the 1st priority, so just enjoy life. fixes can wait.
:-)) Thanks. If you submit your changes today, I can look at them and approve them. -- Gruß/Regards, Thomas Schraitle ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH (o< Maxfeldstrasse 5 /\\ Documentation Specialist 90409 Nuernberg, Germany _\_v http://www.suse.com | HRB 21284 SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-doc+owner@opensuse.org
