[Bug 755533] New: groff -Thtml -t does not produce output for tables due to wrong devhtml/DESC image_generator entry
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755533 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755533#c0 Summary: groff -Thtml -t does not produce output for tables due to wrong devhtml/DESC image_generator entry Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rspmn@arcor.de QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=484678) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=484678) groff input to demonstrate bug User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0 groff -Thtml -t does not produce output for tables etc. due to the wrong /usr/share/groff/1.21/font/devhtml/DESC image_generator missing entry which should be image_generator gs . It looks like configure does not find a valid gs command during build or should be called with an explicit --with-gs=... argument. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute the following command with the attached tbltest.gro file groff -P-p -t -Thtml -ms tbltest.gro > tbltest.html Actual Results: groff outputs [1] Calling `echo showpage | missing -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=792 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=700 -dFIXEDMEDIA=true -sDEVICE=pnmraw -r100 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -sOutputFile=/tmp/groff-page-88ljz9 /tmp/groff-ps-wVBrR9 - ' returned status 32512 Calling `pnmcut 100 267 155 102 < /tmp/groff-page-88ljz9 | pnmcrop -quiet | pnmtopng -background rgb:f/f/f -transparent rgb:f/f/f > grohtml-38871.png ' returned status 256 done and generates an empty grohtml-<number>.png file Expected Results: groff output should have been [1] done and grohtml-<number>.png should have contained the gs output for the table. Even when the correct image_generator entry is used the output is incorrect for locales with letter size paper (e.g. LANG=en_US) as the .png file for the table is cropped off while the output looks correct for locales with A4 size paper (e.g. LANG=de_DE). This seems to be caused by the patch to src/preproc/html/pre-html.cpp in groff_1.21-6.debian.diff. Please consider reviewing (or deleting) this particular patch. -- 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.

The image_generator line contains the name of the program which is used to convert PostScript to PNG. It normally contains (e.g. on Knoppix 7.0.4 or NetBSD 6.0): image_generator gs It looks like configure is not able to detect the presence of gs when building groff. Could you please check your build dependencies? Alternatively it might also work to use configure ... --with-gs=gs ... if you are sure that it present when groff is built. -- 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.

I have to think how to split the groff's build correctly, but for the maintenance update, simply add the missing stuff and rebuild might be enough.
Even when the correct image_generator entry is used the output is incorrect for locales with letter size paper (e.g. LANG=en_US) as the .png file for the table is cropped off while the output looks correct for locales with A4 size paper (e.g. LANG=de_DE).

Starting openSUSE 12.1 groff reflects the value of LC_PAPER, and I see it have an impact on the pnmcut values
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8 groff -P-p -t -Thtml -ms tbltest.gro > /dev/null ... Calling `pnmcut 100 199 155 102
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 groff -P-p -t -Thtml -ms tbltest.gro > /dev/null ... Calling `pnmcut 100 267 155 102
can you test it?
Using LANG=en_US, the groff from groff-1.21-11.1.8.i586 on openSUSE 12.2 and a wrapper around /usr/bin/pnmcut with env LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF8 GROFF_FONT_PATH=~/groff/font groff -P-p -t -Thtml -ms ~/wrk/tbltest.gro > tbltest.html and env LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF8 GROFF_FONT_PATH=~/groff/font groff -P-p -t -Thtml -ms ~/wrk/tbltest.gro > tbltest.html pnmcut gets called with the same arguments as for you but the generated .png does not contain the full table with LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF8. Using a locally built groff 1.21 without any patches applied the generated .png looks correct for both LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF8 and LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF8 (pnmcut gets called with 100 199 155 102 in both cases). My suggestions if therefore still to consider reviewing (or deleting) the patch to src/preproc/html/pre-html.cpp in groff_1.21-6.debian.diff. -- 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.
