Description:
Hello I discover a problem in the archlinux gsfonts package ( version 20170829-1 ), which doesn't exist in the upstream original version, which gives a bad rendering fonts in web browsers and applications, especially for the font NimbusSans-regular, downgrading gsfonts to the previous version ( 20170727-1 ) solves the problem, NimbusSans-regular font is correctly displayed, after further investigations ( and with the help of the author of gsfonts ) we discover that the problem comes from an archlinux commit : https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/gsfonts&id=ee39c3ba75ebf8e34d9cdf3d9bd1eacef7e580f9 the author explains clearly the problem here in this bugreport : https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/urw-base35-fonts/issues/11#issuecomment-333610456 Additional info: * package version(s) gsfonts-20170829-1 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: - install gsfonts-20170829-1 - open the test html file provided as attache file with this bugreport - you will notice that the "1" in the string "2017" is not correctly rendered - downgrade gsfonts to the version 20170727-1 - reopen the html test file, you will see a much better display of the string "2017" for the font nimbusSans regular a workaround would be to cancel the archlinux commit related to the value "69" : https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/gsfonts&id=ee39c3ba75ebf8e34d9cdf3d9bd1eacef7e580f9 |
