229760 - add microsoft-cp125x font support to Gtk/Xlib

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Jungshik Shin]

XFree86 freetype module present truetype fonts as X11 fonts with
microsoft-cp125x (where x=1,2,3,5,7,0) if fonts support them.

Adding them to Gtk/Xlin will help when web pages with characters outside
iso-8859-x ranges (but covered b windows-125x) are viewed.

BTW, what XLFD registry-encoding pairs does Solaris use for them?

My old Solaris 2.8 build machine (no new OS patches since a year... ;-(( - newer
2.8 releases and 2.9/2.10 support more encodings) supports the following XLFD
encodings:

Hey, you just made it hard to read this bug with that not-so-useful-long [1]
list. At least you had to convert newlines to spaces (or commas) at the end of
your filter chain. Besides, the list didn't answer my question at all. I know
Solaris supports  Windows-1251 (for Russian) so that there must be fonts, but
your snipped list doesn't have it. 

[1] Most of them are CID-keyed font encoding names.

I found 'ansi-1251' in the list and it's probably for Windows-1251. Mozilla
already  has 'ansi-1251'. Why don't you filter your list with 'egrep 125[0-9]'
instead of snipping?

Attachment: patch with '1252' association error fixed

In this patch, I'm adding microsoft-cp125x (where x = 0, 2, 3, 7).
microsoft-cp1251 (for Cyrillic) has been in the tree for a while. I'm not
adding 1255 and 1256 because it's not clear how they can be used for Hebrew and
Arabic.

I also changed FLG (font langGroup) of ISO-8859-4/13 to Baltic from Western
Europe. Currently, it has little effect because Gtk/Xlib get that information
from charsetData.properties file that I wanna change in bug 215537.

My fault... I simply pasted the terminal output without thinking about the
consequences... ;-/

Solaris AFAIK uses the iso8859-* encodings to cover european locales, russian is
supported via both ansi-1251 and koi-* (yes, even two seperate locales are
available for that :) , but the other windows-12?? font encodings do not seem to
have counterparts in Solaris (and I guess the hell will freeze before Sun
creates files beginning with "windows-" in /usr ... =:-) ... maybe more
encodings will be supported in Solaris 2.10 (or not... since the whole XLFD+Xft
stuff is being replaced/superset by STSF anyway).
