http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083212 Bug ID: 1083212 Summary: Please drop mkfontscale/mkfontdir usage from texlive font packages Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Currently, the various texlive font packages create fonts.dir/fonts.scale using mkfontdir/mkfontscale. This is quite pointless: - the font packages go into /usr/share/fonts/texlive-<package>/, but this is outside the X server font path, which is (see /var/log/Xorg.0.log) [191632.294] (==) FontPath set to: /usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled, /usr/share/fonts/Type1/, /usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled, /usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, /usr/share/fonts/ghostscript/, /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic:unscaled, /usr/share/fonts/truetype/, i.e. to use any of this fonts, the user had to additionally use xset +fp ... for each package - this is for the vast majority of programs unnecessary, as it is only needed for server side font rendering, current programs use client side rendering. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
