Yes, this is a problem only with Nimbus Mono, and only with Oblique, Bold and Oblique Bold. I've checked Debian gsfonts-8.14+v8.11-0.1, and the problem exists there as well. It's correct in Valek's fonts, as you can see here: http://kvota.net/fonts/urwcyr/nimbus-mono-side-by-side.png Top fontforge view shows the font from your package, bottom is the one from gnome.ru 1.0.7-pre39 tarball (I use this one only because I'm lazy to download newer one, not because there's something wrong in later releases). So, this is entirely independent of the current bug, as Steve already pointed out. I think this is as bad as these missing/incorrect glyphs (Russians would probably argue that it's even worse ;), but it is nevertheless independent. >> Also, Nimbus Sans Regular and Regular Condensed look exactly the same >> for me (this could be due to some font fields not being set fully, >> but I'm not sure). >> >> Similarly, URW Bookman L Light gives me Demi Bold variant.

This persisted after reboot and fc-cache -f. fc-match[1] gives correct file pointers: $ fc-match "urw palladio l" URWPalladioL-Roma.pfb: "URW Palladio L" "Roman" $ fc-match "urw palladio l:bold" URWPalladioL-Bold.pfb: "URW Palladio L" "Bold" (These are links in /var/lib/defoma/... correctly pointing to /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts.)

FWIW, this seems to be a problem with all type1 and some truetype fonts generated with FontForge (of those that I have, those are Computer Modern Unicode, your set of gsfonts, Caslon*.ttf by George Williams). Anyway, not related to this bug either. Cheers, Danilo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
