https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680739 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680739#c11 --- Comment #11 from John McManaman <auxsvr@yahoo.com> 2011-10-25 15:54:38 UTC --- Here are some observations with package freefont removed: 1. Having both lines <dir>/usr/share/texmf/fonts/truetype</dir> <dir>/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype</dir> in /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive.conf makes the resulting PDF file have wrong or corrupted glyphs in some cases. 2. Fontmatrix lists two entries for each shape of the freefont family, one for the truetype font and another for the opentype one. 3. Removing either one (not both) of the aforementioned lines makes the resulting PDF file look fine, while freefont remains available for other uses; for example using freefont in oowriter works fine. Therefore, the following are safe to conclude: texlive becomes confused, because multiple copies of freefont are available. In order to make only one available, we need to set only one of /usr/share/texmf{true,open}type available and set texlive in conflict with freefont. This is in accordance with the original report and the link provided. One thing that confuses me is that the documentation of texlive suggests the presence of both the opentype and the freetype lines, although I never managed to make this work. Feel free to ask for more information, minimal examples etc. I may be busy for a couple of days, though. -- 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.
