I noticed that some fonts in firefox-x11 render incorrectly, and a message is spewed to the console:
{{{ (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GDEF table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GDEF table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD }}}
The font having trouble is whatever is picked for the boxes in: http://fedorasolved.org/mobile/fc-wireless/bcm43xx-yum-extras
It looks like Courier at first guess, but I haven't looked into it more specifically.
Doing some searching, I found a similar issue last year regarding a font in wireshark (note 0x6ead == 28333): * http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-i18n-list/2008-April/msg00008.html * http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/15052 * http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/15209 * http://graphviz.org/bugs/b1318.html
The "fix" was to disable the freetype renderer for +quartz... well that's all well and good for the +quartz variant, but what about the X11 users? It looks like the problem is persisting for X11
New description: I noticed that some fonts in firefox-x11 render incorrectly. I narrowed it down to a simple test case: {{{ $ fc-match Fixed 12x13ja.pcf.gz: "Fixed" "ja" $pango-view --font="Fixed" /etc/passwd # See garbled cruft in the view $ fc-match Fixed:style=Regular 7x13.pcf.gz: "Fixed" "Regular" $pango-view --font="Fixed:Style=Regular" /etc/passwd # See an expected render }}} It looks like we need some logic in the config file to prefer style=Regular if no style is designated -- -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19171#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
