[Bug 926006] New: KDE does not display Terminus font anymore
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=926006 Bug ID: 926006 Summary: KDE does not display Terminus font anymore Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace Assignee: kde-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: suse@bugs.jan.ritzerfeld.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 630042 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=630042&action=edit This is not xos4 Terminus but Arial with misplaced cursor KDE does not display the xos4 Terminus font anymore. It looks like the update of libfreetype6 last month caused this. Konsole and Yakuake use the fixed font metrics for the cursor but actually display Arial. jan@karl:~> fc-match "xos4 Terminus" ter-112n.pcf: "xos4 Terminus" "Regular" xterm does not want to use Terminus: jan@karl:~> xterm -fa "xos4 Terminus" xterm: Selected font has no non-zero height for ISO-8859-1 encoding -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

A simple solution to work around the problem is to compress all PCF font files (i.e., running gzip over all uncompressed `.pcf` fonts). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

For me, fc-match does not even give ter-112n.pcf as it did for the reporter. (Once gzipped, the files are recognized.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=926006 --- Comment #3 from Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org> --- Well, openSuSE has apparently backported some security fixes, and the PCF problem is such a security fix, too, but badly done. I've fixed it later on with http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=74af85c4b... and http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=06842c7b4... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

That was because the font selection was actually "Terminus", not xos4 ... . When explicitly selecting "xos4 Terminus" it should work. It might be that terminus as a bitmap font is not selectable. Can you try the following: - open the yast fontconfig module, e.g. call "yast fonts" (or 'xdg-su -c "yast fonts"' as non-root) - select "Rendering Details" - Under "Embedded Bitmaps" make sure the checkbox "Use Embedded Bitmaps" is activated and the radio box "All Languages" is activated Is "the real terminus" font now selectable in the font selection dialog as "xos4 Terminus", i.e. is it not mushed, pixel-clear? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I updated from 13.1 to 13.2 keeping my profile and Terminus worked until the libfreetype6 update in March 2015. And no, I explicitly select "xos4 Terminus" in the font chooser.

Nope. Not here using 13.2. And xterm still throws the same error as in my original report: jan@karl:~> xterm -fa "xos4 Terminus" -fs 9 xterm: Selected font has no non-zero height for ISO-8859-1 encoding

I do not have a yast fontconfig module. And I do not find any yast2-*font* package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

ok. On my Leap 42.1 installation there is "yast2-fonts" in the standard repositories. For 13.2 there is https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Apgajdos%3Afont-setting&package=yast2-fonts You could try to install it by doing the following: - go to https://software.opensuse.org/package/yast2-fonts - click on "openSUSE 13.2" - click on "Show more packages for unsupported distributions" - select the "1 Click Install" option - this should install yast2-fonts in the same version as is available on Leap. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

As I said, "the real terminus" is already selectable! It simply does not work because of the broken libfreetype6. And libfreetype6 did not get any update since the broken version of March 2015 and terminus-bitmap-fonts did not get any update since 2013. Really, how should this be fixed by now without any update?
[...] - this should install yast2-fonts in the same version as is available on Leap.
yast2-fonts is a unstable package and needs also a newer font-config package. So, for me, this problem is not fixed in 13.2 if I need to update such basic packages from an unstable home repo. BTW, /etc/sysconfig/fonts-config contains USE_EMBEDDED_BITMAPS="yes" but EMBEDDED_BITMAPS_LANGUAGES="ja:ko:zh-CN:zh-TW:zh-HK:zh-SG". I will try to set the latter to "". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Did not work. KDE uses Arial and jan@karl:~> xterm -fa "xos4 Terminus" -fs 9 xterm: Selected font has no non-zero height for ISO-8859-1 encoding -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I was reporting from mixed memory regarding my 13.2 and Leap 42.1 installation. So for Leap 42.1 terminus is usable for me, also 'xterm -fa "xos4 Terminus" -fs 9' works, on 13.2 actually not so I can CONFIRM your report. To put this into context: In this bug I am merely another user, not maintainer or developer. But I also would like to see it FIXED for 13.2 not only a workaround available. I was comparing my /etc/fonts directories from openSUSE 13.2 and openSUSE Leap 42.1 and found the following differences: http://paste.opensuse.org/304848 We could try to apply all changes to /etc/fonts to see if we find a workaround or could help find the real problem but then probably some kind of re-initialization of the fonts need to be done? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
