| norbertj | anybody around to have a look at bug 700475? | 10:47.00 |
| kens | I imagine chris will look at it shortly norbertj | 10:47.21 |
| | Is it urgent ? | 10:47.26 |
| | Actually, I'll just reassign it to Chris now | 10:48.04 |
| norbertj | <@kens> It's indeed a bit urgent. | 10:52.47 |
| kens | OK I'll ask Chris to look at it asap | 10:52.59 |
| | chrisl ping ? | 10:53.05 |
| chrisl | kens: pong | 10:53.33 |
| kens | Are you following bug 700475 ? | 10:53.45 |
| | and the thread here ? | 10:53.50 |
| chrisl | No, I just saw it now. I thought it was Heny's | 10:54.11 |
| kens | It is, but its Font API stuff | 10:54.30 |
| | You did the fapi change that Norbert refers to in the earlier bug | 10:54.43 |
| norbertj | chrisl: see the bug 696232 | 10:55.16 |
| chrisl | Yeh, but that change relates to TTF vs Type 1 fonts - neither of which UFST ever sees | 10:55.25 |
| norbertj | In our case it does ;) | 10:55.45 |
| kens | chrisl could you take a quick look please then ? | 10:56.12 |
| chrisl | Um, it's specifically setup to only provide microtype fonts, because downloaded fonts don't work | 10:56.50 |
| | norbertj: The output is fine with Freetype (and UFST). Is there a reason you're excluding Freetype from the build? | 11:28.15 |
| norbertj | chrisl: as I understood it, if I enable the UFST_BRIDGE=1 then the FT_BRIDGE is set to 0 (in the makefiles). My previous version of or controller-build however did include both Freetype and UFST | 11:53.35 |
| chrisl | norbertj: That hasn't been true for a long time. Once I discovered that UFST wasn't reliable with incrementally defined fonts, I made the default UFST build use UFST for Microtype, and Freetype for everything else | 11:54.56 |
| | norbertj: I did just notice the docs are out of date on that, sorry :( | 11:55.13 |
| | norbertj: I am looking at fixing this, but I worry there may be other issues you'll encounter, as we don't test without Freetype | 11:57.15 |
| norbertj | So you suggest to use include both FT and UFST? (What order should these then be included in the fapi_servers list (gs_fapi_init???) | 12:01.11 |
| chrisl | norbertj: Yes, including both is what we recommend and test. The order doesn't matter. Do you know what version of UFST you currently use? | 12:06.10 |
| | I'm heading out for a couple of hours..... | 13:04.59 |
| norbertj | chrisl: we currently have integrated ufst63 but I also have a ufst71 on the shelve. | 13:48.38 |
| | can I replace the ufst63 with the ufst71? or has the api changed? | 13:49.46 |
| kens | norbertj: chrisl is out at the moment, I'l ask him to look at the logs for this channel wehn he gets back. I'm not sure we have a copy of 7.1. but the majopr version number change would make me suspicious tha it is not compatible. | 13:50.44 |
| norbertj | kens: I added the Freetype again to our controller code, and this indeed fixed my problem. | 14:32.42 |
| kens | Aha, that's good then | 14:32.51 |
