Package: libwine
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: normal
The bitmap font files included in the libwine package should not be
picked up by fontconfig, since they get rendered invisible in firefox.
I stumbled across this when some webpages looked suspiciously empty and
I tracked it down to the usage of the "MS sans serif" font, which gets
provided by /usr/share/fonts/wine/sserife.fon.
Apparently this file cannot be used by freetype, at least the command
"ftview ppem /usr/share/fonts/wine/sserife.fon" yields empty letters.
When selecting this font in gimp it spits out a warning:
Pango-WARNING **: Error in FT_Set_Char_Size: 23
As soon as I disable the wine-provided fonts in my ~/.fonts.conf with
this entry:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
[...]
<rejectfont>
<glob>/usr/share/fonts/wine/*</glob>
</rejectfont>
</fontconfig>
The problem goes away by making the MS sans serif fonts unavailable to the
applications that don't render them correctly.
It is a bit hard to figure out which package to report the bug against,
freetype should be able to render the .fon files, fontconfig should not pick
up .fon files that cannot get rendered by freetype, pango should not warn,
but I think the easiest route is to not include the bitmap fonts into the
fonts managed by fontconfig. Hence the report against wine.
I hope this helps,
Simon
