I've been having problems with ttmkfdir not generating valid family names.
I have a (Windows) Truetype font called Concielian Jet, freely available
from
http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=1077
and this font works correctly on Windows boxes.
However, on my Redhat machines (both 7.2 which distributes Freetype 2.0.3
and 7.3 which distributes Freetype 2.0.9), I am having great difficulty
using this font, because ttmkfdir, which is run automatically by the xfs
startup script, is generating an empty family name for this font:
address@hidden eds]$ ttmkfdir
6
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-fcd8859-15
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-9
Note the two dashes between macromedia and medium; there's supposed to be
a family name there. This makes the font inaccessible from apps,
particularly Gimp. Correct ttmkfdir output for other fonts:
arib____.ttf -macromedia-Arioso-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
arir____.ttf -macromedia-Arioso-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
chvor___.ttf -macromedia-ChevaraOutline-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
chvr____.ttf -macromedia-Chevara-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
Does anyone have an opinion on whether this is a bug in ttmkfdir?
Thanks,
Eric
