International Fonts & Spell-checking

oskar · **Joined:** Fri Mar 10, 2006 11:17 am **Posts:** 2099

I've packaged the freefont and dejavufont for better international support and package an early version of a dictionary-installer

Fonts

both font-families will live /usr/X11/lib/fonts/TTF/ which means
1. you need zenwalk-2.8
2. they should work with future version of xorg (namely 7.0 or 7.1)

licences and docs are included in /usr/doc/$PACKAGANAME.AND-VERSION
the fonts will provide support for greek, cyrillic, hebrew, ethiopic, syrian also
thai, indic scripts and some east-asian scripts

east-asian
I have no idea about east-asian scripts so i dont know whether zenwalk will render them correctly

indic & thai
I found a testing page for indic-scripts ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... ng_support
and found out firefox and abiword do not render indic and thai scripts correctly in other programms this seem to work

Bugzilla-entry for abiword: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5518
Bugzilla-entry for mozilla.org: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205476
I know fedora maintains a firefox build with indic-support enabled, the problem is that customs builds may not carry the name firefox, mozilla, seamonkey, etc unless they have a special license from mozilla.org

Dictionary install
(allow simply installation of dictionaries)
http://download.zenwalk.org/people/seba ... h-1z28.md5
http://download.zenwalk.org/people/seba ... h-1z28.tgz

Requirements:
- pkgtool, bash, Xdialog, gnome-vfs

current features:
- menu entry & icon in the "system"-categorie (you can only run this as root / via gksu) so system seems to be the place
- lists all hunspell-dictionaries, can download them and make a zenwalk-pkg, the date of the file (on the ftp-server) will be used as version
- updates the dictionary.lst needed by openoffice

missing features:
- no update
- no remove (=> all dictionaries will be installed as package so you can remove them via "pkgtool" -> "remove")
- no aspell support

Hello Oskar,

In Fedora Core 5 Mozilla Firefox has been built with pango text rendering support for displaying Indic language fonts properly. While building Firefox in FC5, I have seen some patches being applied to the Firefox source. Has anybody attemped building Firefox with pango support on Zenwalk 2.6? If so, what patches are required to be applied to the Firefox source before building?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Oskar for your reply.

I have already downloaded the Firefox source package from Fedora web site you have mentioned. I have also converted the rpm file to tgz.

Are these patches specific to Fedora Core only? Can we apply these patches to compile Firefox in Zenwalk 2.6? How to apply these patches?

there should be a .spec file it contains the instructions on how the package is build (via rpmbuild)
generally patches are applied with

Code:

cat mypatch.patch|patch -p0

if you get an error try patch -p1 or change the working directory to the source
it is safe to use trial and error for this because
if the patch doesn't find the file with expected lines it asks you for a file-name simply hit ctrl+c and try with another option

but the .spec file should contain the necessary commands also

It should be save not to apply "firefox-redhat-homepage.patch" ;-)

hopefully the patches work on all system, so for zenwalk
apply the patches then the following should give a good package:

Code:

mkdir /tmp/package-firefoxctl/
./configure --enable-pango --enable-ctl --enable-system-cairo --enable-strip --enable-application=browser --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/package-firefoxctl/
cd /tmp/package-firefoxctl/
makepkg ../firefoxctl-1.5.0.4-i686-1.tgz

Thanks Oskar for your quick reply. I will try to build Firefox now on Zenwalk 2.6

updated dejavu-ttf to 2.7 and added full zenwalk compatbility:

Code:

# pkgcheck -z /tmp/dejavu-ttf-2.7-noarch-1z28.tgz
using Zenwalk rules
/tmp/dejavu-ttf-2.7-noarch-1z28.tgz
  info: missing file "usr/doc/dejavu-ttf-2.7/COPYING"
  info: missing file "usr/share/applications/dejavu-ttf.desktop"
rc=1 (info)

It contains a full support for latin and greek as well as mathematical operators and braille

dejavu-ttf is now extra
meaning you can simply install it via

Code:

netpkg dejavu-ttf

(you can use the build-script in this package to package other fonts as well,
please if you publish fonts always include docs, readmes and licences!
note there is also a freefont-package here:
http://download.zenwalk.org/people/seba ... rnational/ )

this is the status of language support for these fonts:

Dictionary install

updated to 2.0.1
added new mirror and exit cleanly when dictionary list could not be fetched, thanks to lykoszine

http://download.zenwalk.org/people/seba ... h-1z28.tgz
http://download.zenwalk.org/people/seba ... h-1z28.md5

to be done:
- add ftp time-out
- add more mirrors and allow selection of mirrors

maybe the best way is to choose the mirror with the lowest ping?
