Bug 47704

I don't see any fails on those testing. is it a result of run-test.sh in test dir?

Hmmmm ...
Yes. with make check I get:

[...]
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/fontconfig-2.9.0/test'
*** Test failed: Basic check
*** output is in 'out', expected output in 'out.expected'
FAIL: run-test.sh
==================
1 of 1 test failed

I thought it is because

fontconfig-2.9.0/test> FONTCONFIG_FILE=`pwd`/fonts.conf ../fc-list/fc-list - family pixelsize

gives 
Misc Fixed:pixelsize=6
Sony Fixed:pixelsize=16

for me instead of
Fixed:pixelsize=16
Fixed:pixelsize=6
in the out.expected.

(note strings before whitespace seems to be removed.)

actually "Misc" and "Sony" is the foundry but not the family name though. you can try FC_DEBUG=384 fc-query.

Tried:

fontconfig-2.9.0/test> FC_DEBUG=384 ../fc-query/fc-query 4x6.pcf | grep "family\|foundry"
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
using FreeType family "Misc Fixed"
	family: "Misc Fixed"(s)
	foundry: "Misc"(s)


So what's wrong?

Do you have any patches in freetype for that perhaps?

You are right, that's it. Marking the patch fixing the test as suse-specific, will try to figure out why we have this later.

Thanks a lot & sorry for noise.

Yes, suse has been carrying that patch for quite a while.

One of our users at Exherbo is hitting this bug again with freetype >=2.7.1

I see this issue and introduced by freetype 2.7.1:

- PCF family names are made more `colourful'; they now include the
      foundry  and information  whether they contain  wide characters.
      For example,  you no longer get `Fixed' but  rather `Sony Fixed'
      or `Misc Fixed Wide'.
