[ANNOUNCEMENT] urw-base35-fonts 20170801-3

[Ken Brown]

The following package has been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* urw-base35-fonts-20170801-3

This package contains the 35 fonts in the PostScript Level 2 Core Font
Set.  These fonts are used by ghostscript and xpdf.

This release removes a workaround for an xpdf problem that has now
been fixed properly.

Hi Ken, Yaakov,

The package htmldoc
https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/htmldoc/htmldoc-1.8.28-3

is expecting the old fonts to be available
..
usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica.afm -> 
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.afm
usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica.pfb -> 
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.pfb
..
so currently is broken.

While grace and libwmf have both a copy of the same fonts:

usr/share/grace/fonts/type1/n019003l.afm
usr/share/grace/fonts/type1/n019003l.pfb
..
usr/share/grace/fonts/type1/n019003l.afm
usr/share/grace/fonts/type1/n019003l.pfb
..


Regards
Marco

I presume htmldoc does not support fontconfig or Opentype compatible Type 1 fonts?
Could you upgrade to use the new fonts by substituting or converting the metric
compatible URW Nimbus Type 1 fonts specified in
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/30-metric-aliases.conf?

/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSans-Bold.afm
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSans-Bold.t1
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSans-BoldItalic.afm
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSans-BoldItalic.t1
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSans-Italic.afm
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSans-Italic.t1
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSansNarrow-BdOblique.afm
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSansNarrow-BdOblique.t1
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSansNarrow-Bold.afm

/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSansNarrow-Oblique.afm

Hi Marco,

htmldoc and grace are both Yaakov's, so I'll let him decide how these 
should be fixed.  I can adapt to whatever he does.  libwmf is orphaned, 
but maybe it's harmless to leave it alone.  If not, I'll adopt it.

Ken
