Description Behdad Esfahbod 2006-10-25 15:08:05 UTC 
Currently fontconfig reports dpi from bitmap BDF/PCF fonts.  The dpi in the font
is useless by all means and should not be added to the resulting font patterns.
 This is causing me headaches when trying to embed bitmap glyphs into Firefox's
PS output.
Comment 1 Keith Packard 2006-12-02 13:42:20 UTC 
Should I also remove point size? That seems just as wrong to me.
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-12-02 14:34:24 UTC 
Yeah, just pixelsize IMO.

Bugzilla Upgrade Mass Bug Change

NEEDSINFO state was removed in Bugzilla 3.x, reopening any bugs previously listed as NEEDSINFO.

I've removed the dpi and size values, leaving only the pixel sizes.
