Bug#680723: #680723 gnome-bluetooth: filetransfer fails

2012-07-30 Thread Steve White
Hi, this may illuminate the problem. I'm seeing a very similar problem between my Ubuntu system 12.04 and a Samsung GT-I5500 running Android. File transfer fails exactly as described. However I have another phone, a Nokia C5 running Symbian; file transfers to that phone from the Linux system go w

Bug#662931: ttf-freefont: Reports variant in Bulgarian language

2012-05-04 Thread Steve White
Hi Fabian, I happened to be looking over the Debian bugs, and noticed this new report. I can confirm that fc-match returns the Bulgarian string, but this strikes me as an fc-match bug. This comes from a standard table of strings in the font, indexed by language. There is no further logic in the

Hi Drake! You are right about U+2404 and U+2405: they are exchanged. The reason is embarrassing: the application FontForge, which we use to build the fonts, has little icons showing representations of the letters. These icons are exchanged in FontForge, and I followed the icons rather than the U

2008-09-12 Thread Steve White
The release of FreeFont dated 20080912 http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/ goes a long way to solving line spacing problems that arose over the years. The biggest change is in FreeMono. It has been demonstrated that in a properly-invoked xterm, graphic objects that are meant to connect

This issue is well-known: it was discussed in the release notes. I take it seriously, and I'm working hard on a solution. It is due to the fixed 15% spacing I introduced (see the release notes under "Line height") https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=5248 in all faces in order to
