https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406660 Summary: fontforge (pfaedit) not on Retail DVD Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: --- I'm unable to find the package "fontforge" on the retail DVD. If it was dropped deliberately, I'd strongly advise to re-add it. It's a very essential productivity tool, and the only font creator for Linux AFAIK. -- 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.

So zypper in fontforge will get it from the online repos -- 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.

While there is a bunch of text processors, editors, and image manipulating programs, there is exactly one font converter/creator, and you dropped it from the distribution. People who want to download probably don't buy the retail DVD anyway. -- 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.
