Bitmap fonts are not generated correctly
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:47 EST
Description of problem:
Bitmap fonts in the fonts-chinese package is not generated correctly. The pcf
files it installed just include empty gzipped files. Perhaps bdftopcf is not
installed in the system when they are compiled. Perhaps we have a missing build
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fonts-chinese.
2. ls -l /usr/share/fonts/chinese/misc/
3. zcat ls -l /usr/share/fonts/chinese/misc/taipei16.pcf.gz
The ls command shows the file size is just 20 bytes.
The zcat command doesn't produce anything.
The ls command shows a file a few hundred kilobytes in size, and the zcat
command would give a binary file.
Recompiling the package using rpmbuild -ba without doing anything else will
correct the problem, as long as bdftopcf is installed already.
fonts.alias is also not correct.
It has been proved fixed in rawhide (fonts-chinese-3.03-1.fc7.noarch.rpm).
