Just got to see this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693060 05:17:58 aha 05:19:06 without a mouse it seems hard to get out of the desktop menu... 05:19:29 on kvm? 05:19:32 anyway guess there will be more bugs to iron out from the beta release 05:19:36 tagoh: yes 05:19:52 juhp: aha. let me try later 05:21:02 my workaround is Ctrl-Atl-Backspace ;) :) 05:21:20 pravins: any thought on disabling hinting for lohit? 05:21:29 tagoh: yeah 05:21:42 i have removed hinting of gujarati and devanagari fonts 05:21:57 in new release right? 05:22:07 yeah 05:22:19 after reading the thread on font list i think there is possibility of options 05:22:59 tagoh: do you think we should remove hinting of other fonts as well? 05:23:15 or wait for some other options i.e. disabling/enabling autohinter 05:24:00 how about impact on this? 05:24:13 impact is major, rendering is not good 05:24:25 i think for now i will apply patch and build for fedora 05:24:32 pravins: can it be disabled in fontconfig? 05:24:32 if it badly affects to Indic, we should take a workaround for f15 anyway 05:25:27 juhp: i think not 05:25:31 otherwise we could wait for fontconfig when they support a feature 05:25:53 juhp: there is option of enabling/disabling autohinter in fontconfig 05:26:07 doesn't work? 05:26:09 tagoh: yeah, that is best options for now i am thinking to patch fedora fonts 05:26:41 juhp: we have to disable BCI of freetype 05:27:45 pravins: ok - your previous two comments to me seem to contradict? 05:28:02 ohh 05:28:11 but I haven't followed the discussion... 05:28:18 1) i am thinking to remove hinting instruction from fonts for now 05:28:38 2) i think there is presently no options for disabling freetype BCI hinter 05:28:45 pravins: any implications for other distros for (1)? 05:28:53 ah 05:29:04 juhp: thought enabling BCI enforces autohinter so far from the discussion on the list 05:29:06 got you 05:29:17 tagoh: I see 05:29:21 hmm 05:29:41 juhp: i think if other distros following upstream, then it will also affect 05:29:53 guess I was naive to assume that fontconfig would allow disabling hinting per font 05:30:34 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547532 05:31:46 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679030 05:31:58 seems to be a big change anyway 05:32:55 pravins: putting my question another way would the new version of the fonts affect older Fedora releases? 05:33:13 juhp: no 05:33:17 ok good 05:33:42 maybe good to check other langs with BCI 05:33:49 yes 05:33:59 juhp: but still removing instruction from upstream looks little bit risky for now 05:34:05 pravins: nod 05:34:55 pravins: it may takes a cost but would be good to work on branch with/without hinting perhaps? 05:35:07 tagoh: hmm, nice option 05:35:18 and apply fixes to both branches 05:35:46 or if there are any easy way to drop hinting at the build time, that would be nicer than maintaining both branches though 05:36:15 pravins: hm https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679030#c5 suggests it is possible to control BCI per font 05:37:29 #action all to check rendering with enabling BCI on their languages 05:37:53 ok 05:37:59 juhp: need to try that once 05:38:11 ok please 05:38:56 kevin says "It can be worked around with a per-font policy using a 05:38:56 config file similar to the above, but really, we want the BCI fixed instead." 05:39:20 pravins: please review the blocker/nth process if it's worth proposing for f15. otherwise good to push 0-day updates 05:39:45 tagoh: yeah, sure 05:39:59 ok, anything else? 05:40:44 pravins: yep just suggesting it is a better workaround than ripping out all the hinting instructions from fonts :) 05:41:25 juhp: yep. if autohinter works fine. 05:41:31 juhp: yeah agree :), me too thinking same (just was thinking will apply patch for removing hinting instruction) 05:42:08 shall we move on then? 05:42:16 sure :) 05:42:21 #topic Package Updates 05:42:27 juhp: tagoh thanks, will try that today :) 05:42:43 pravins: cool 05:42:53 anything on updates? 05:44:52 if not, let's move on 05:45:07 #topic Input Methods 05:46:14 any news or updates on IM? 05:46:50 31 bugs are open btw 05:47:21 I reproduced the one that ktakemur san found, working on it, now. 05:47:49 dingyichen: bug#? 05:49:07 tagoh: [Bug 682650] ibus(-chewing) gets broken after hitting space key multiple times. 05:49:07 fujiwarat: do you have any on ibus? 05:49:38 dingyichen: aha 05:49:49 ah, ibus and gnome-shell are integrated into f15 for the panel icon. I think it's ok. 05:50:38 fujiwarat: cool 05:50:50 However today I noticed preedit string might be strange in the latest f15. will double check it later. 05:51:19 aha 05:53:31 epico_laptop: how about ibus-pinyin? 05:54:02 tagoh: pardon? 05:54:43 any progress on reproducing abrt bugs say? 05:54:55 I will try it later today. 05:55:03 ok 05:55:13 hmm about half the im bugs seem to be from abrt 05:55:30 at least gucharmap seems to have stopped crashing in f15 :) 05:55:30 right 05:55:57 before I had a chance to file an abrt bug ;) 05:57:29 maybe need to catch up nkumar later for ibus-indic-table 05:57:39 anyway, better move on 05:57:48 #topic Fonts and Rendering 05:58:00 pravins: are you looking at any of the ibus-indic-table bugs? 05:58:23 juhp: i was thinking but looks will not get time for same :( 05:58:34 okay 05:58:58 43 fonts bugs and 27 rendering bugs are open now 06:03:00 trying to update motoya-l{maru,cedar}-fonts for new release, also asking upstream for messing up latin-1 supplement on them 06:04:57 .bug 677865 06:04:58 juhp: Bug 677865 Menu Fonts Look Poor - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677865 06:05:10 looks like another complaint about the hinting 06:06:02 thought it's irrelevant. it's the order issue on conf files? 06:08:58 .bug 676253 06:09:01 tagoh: Bug 676253 [abattis-cantarell-fonts] causes tiny characters of desktop fonts - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676253 06:09:04 should be dup of that 06:09:15 aha 06:11:05 will check later if it happens on beta.tc1 06:11:27 ok, anything else on fonts/rendering? 06:11:52 cool 06:14:07 ok, let's stop the meeting here then. 06:14:15 thanks everyone for the meeting! 06:14:22 #endmeeting
