http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=994667 Bug ID: 994667 Summary: fontawesome-fonts incompatible with xelatex Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: psychonaut@nothingisreal.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Something is wrong with the packaging of the Font Awesome fonts in the fontawesome-fonts-4.6.3-10.1.noarch package (in the M17N repository). When the fonts are installed from this package, xelatex fails to detect them, and issues an error message when any document using them is compiled. However, when the same Font Awesome fonts are installed manually (say, by downloading them from https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/archive/v4.6.3.tar.gz and installing them as root with kfontinst), xelatex has no problem finding and using the font. Steps to reproduce: $ sudo zypper in fontawesome-fonts-4.6.3-10.1.noarch $ cat >foo.tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontawesome} \begin{document} \faAsterisk \end{document} $ xelatex foo.tex Observed behaviour: xelatex fails with the following error message: xdvipdfmx:fatal: Cannot proceed without the font: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fontawesome-webfont.woff Expected behaviour: xelatex should have compiled foo.tex without any errors. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
