2010-04-23 08:07:26 Zhang Weiwu description Binary package hint: fontconfig Having 70-yes-bitmaps.conf replacing 70-no-bitmaps.conf in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ does not make available all bitmap fonts. Reproduce: 1) have 70-yes-bitmaps.conf set; 2) some bitmap fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc are then available, varify by fc-list. Some others are not. Example of those are available on both xlsfont and fc-list: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/unifont.pcf.gz in xfonts-unifont package xlsfont says -gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso10646-1 -gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1 -unifoundry.com-gnu unifont-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1 fc-list says: unifont.pcf:style=Regular unifont:style=Medium Example of those are available on xlsfont but not on fc-list: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/gb16st.pcf.gz in xfonts-base package. xlsfont says: -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-gb2312.1980-0 -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0 -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-240-gb2312.1980-0 the font is not in fc-list. Rationate why we need to make bitmap font available: Despite the general trend of using anti-alias fonts there are still many very good reasons to use bitmap fonts for Asian text. Correct me if I am wrong, but there is not another "Fangsong Ti" in Ubuntu package than "-isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0" in xfonts-base. "Faongsong Ti" is one of the 4 basic fonts of Chinese, to Chinese users, as basic as Italic to westerners. It should not happen that the system asks users to use scalable font instead of bitmap font when there is no scalable font with similiar look.

These can be said of basic typefaces. The four basic typefaces in Chinese typography are: - Song ti:     two varients:     low contrast "book" varient: scalable offered by ttf-arphic-uming package.     heavy contrast title / strong varient: NO SCALABLE available, xfonts-base offer a bitmap one: "Song Ti" - Kaiti. scalable offered by ttf-arphic-ukai package. - Fangsong ti. NO SCALABLE available, xfonts-base offer a bitmap one. - HeiTi. scalable offered by ttf-droid package. The four-basics all have scalable versions in MS Windows since 95'. As you can see some basic things only have bitmap version so far, in Ubuntu packages. It should not be too difficult to make them work.
