Summary0007098: Fonts name change with new Freetype2
DescriptionLast days (2008-06-16), Debian Sid gives me an upgrade for libfreetype2 -> 2.3.6-1.
I updated and compiled Scribus as i make every day ! No problem for compilation and installation.

The problem is when i wanted to open an existing SLA with some T1 font (from Arkandis). Scribus showed me the "subsitution Window Fonts" ...

I searched a few things in differents OS (OpenSuse, Debian Lenny, and Windows). I noticed that all these had freetype2-2.3.5. So if people have this version, it's not a propblem for them... Only version 2.3.6 make trouble.

I also read the release note for Freetype2 2.3.6 and i don't understand anything ! I mean i don't understand why these new realease "should be weird" with Scribus.
=> http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=3157&release_id=605780

Scribus-1.3.3.13svn and Scribus-1.3.5svn are affected by this.

Only fonts T1 seem to be affected and renamed by Scribus.

TagsNo tags attached.

 That issue is caused by a freetype 2.3.6 function returning a different result than before, not by Scribus.

To avaoid such problem, Scribus could directly grab names rather than rely on Freetype algo. Just have red a mail on Freetype ML that it has been reworked today so it will possibily give yet another name at next release.

The bug has been fixed in freetype-cvs (just tested it). A new version is currently planned for release on 23th.

Partially resorbed !

I've build freetype-cvs as you told me last day.
I have again some trouble with fonts name.

Computer Modern Bright Light, DejaVu Serif Condensed, Aurelis ADF Light Normal, Aurelis ADF Light Bold change the font name.

DejaVu is a TTF font.

When i create a new Document i can see these font name strange.
If i open an existing document which implements these fonts, Scribus sees red !!!


Now, i notice something so strange. I have a dual boot. Debian Lenny (freetype 2.3.5) and Debian Sid (freetype 2.3.7). I always build Scribus 1.3.5 under Debian Sid. Then i copy paste binaries on Lenny from Sid. No problem with that stuff.
I noticed that the same fonts name (DejaVu, CM, Aurelis) appeared.

So what's happen with that ?

Cannot reproduce here with Freetype 2.3.7.
