Package: fontforge Version: 1:20220308~dfsg-1 Severity: important FontForge generate invalid BDF files with File → Generate Fonts. As a consequence, bdftopcf complains and the font is unusable.
To reproduce (e.g. without modifying the original font): fontforge /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/6x13.pcf.gz then generate the BDF file (choose 75 as the BDF resolution, as in the original font). Then $ bdftopcf FixedMedium-13.bdf BDF Error on line 29: missing 'FONT_ASCENT' or 'FONT_DESCENT' properties bdftopcf: bdf input, FixedMedium-13.bdf, corrupt -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.17.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fontforge depends on: ii fontforge-common 1:20220308~dfsg-1 ii libc6 2.33-7 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-5 ii libfontforge4 1:20220308~dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.72.2-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.34-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.50.7+ds-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.50.7+ds-1 ii libpython3.10 3.10.5-1 ii sgml-base 1.30 fontforge recommends no packages.
