Description Matthias Apitz 2016-01-26 11:38:59 UTC 
I detected this while porting cups-filters to Linux and SPARC. On Linux 
it is fine, while on SPARC "TrueType" is not returned as FC_FORMAT for the same TTF file as used on Linux. Details are:


cups-filter's texttopdf makes a call like this:

     FcPatternGetString  (candidates->fonts[i], FC_FONTFORMAT, 0, &fontformat);

and does not get a valid pointer in fontformat, it returns 0x0;

I have fontconfig 2.11.91 compiled from source and installed on Linux
and SPARC and compared what the tool 'fc-match' on both systems see
about the same file /usr/share/fonts/FreeFont/FreeMono.ttf. In SPARC the
information about 'fontformat' is not returned and due to this
cups-filter' texttopdf failes.


SPARC:

/usr/local/sisis-pap/cups2/bin/fc-match -V                   
fontconfig version 2.11.91

Linux:

/usr/local/bin/fc-match -V
fontconfig version 2.11.91

SPARC:

/usr/local/sisis-pap/cups2/bin/fc-match -s -v FreeMono | fgrep -i fontformat
(no match in grep)

Linux:

/usr/local/bin/fc-match -s -v FreeMono | fgrep -i fontformat
	fontformat: "TrueType"(w)

SPARC:

/usr/local/sisis-pap/cups2/bin/fc-match -s -v FreeMono

Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2016-01-27 02:21:26 UTC 
Please check if you have HAVE_FT_GET_X11_FONT_FORMAT in config.h. aside from that, apparently charset is also wrong. maybe good to add a line "#define CHECK 1" in src/fcfreetype.c and build. you can see some clue for that wrong charset.
Comment 2 Matthias Apitz 2016-01-27 09:21:08 UTC 
I activated HAVE_FT_GET_X11_FONT_FORMAT in config.h (which was not there) and now the fontformat is recognized as "TrueType" and the filter of CUPS "texttopdf" is happy.

The other change (#define CHECK 1 in src/fcfreetype.c) produces tons of error messages of the type 

x0000007f FT says 0 FC says 1
x00000080 FT says 0 FC says 1
x00000081 FT says 0 FC says 1
...

and

Bitmap extra char ....

while running fc-cache during 'gmake install'

Hmm, well, it isn't something adds by the hand. check config.log. you'll see why it wasn't added there.

well, it shouldn't be different. apparently some logic to store the charset in fontconfig seems not work on sparc. dunno why. need to investigate more.
though I don't have sparc machine here.
Comment 4 Matthias Apitz 2016-01-27 16:05:34 UTC 
after setting correct values for some PKG_* environment values, pointing to the correct locations, in my case:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/sisis-pap/lib/pkgconfig export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pkgconf export PKG_CONFIG

the ./configure run detects the required functions correctly;

the main problem on this SPARC Solaris 10 server is, that a lot of outdated OpenSource components are installed in other places (like for example /usr/swf/...) and get in the way if one wants to compile clean a new suite; that's why the above target dirs are chosen;


I think we can close this issue;

If you need to test something on SPARC, here I am.

So charset is same to linux's now right?

Created attachment 121343 [details]
output of fc-match on SPARC

I am not an expert of fonts. I'm attaching the output of 

/usr/local/sisis-pap/cups2/bin/fc-match -s -v FreeMono

on Solaris 10 SPARC.
Comment 7 Akira TAGOH 2016-01-28 06:36:03 UTC 
obviously it looks difference to what you initially reported. so should be fine. will close this then. thanks.
