Here we go.
There are several options - both boil down to changing the fonts to
opentype/truetype fonts. In all cases
--param=xetex.font='....some long code.....'
needs to be added to the Makefile around line 80.
* variant 1 - TeX Gyre
----------------------
fonts-texgyre needs to be installed (the build-deps are anyway broken,
as fonts-freefont at least are missing).
The code to be added is:
\setmainfont{texgyrepagella-regular.otf}[
BoldFont = texgyrepagella-bold.otf ,
ItalicFont = texgyrepagella-italic.otf ,
BoldItalicFont = texgyrepagella-bolditalic.otf]
\setsansfont{FreeSans}
\setmonofont{FreeMono}
(not line endings etc etc)
See attached patch
fix-fonts-variant1-tex-gyre.diff
Advantage: the Pagella fonts are Palatino like, which means the appearance
for most documents remain the same compared to previous years where
URW Palladio was used.
Disadvantage: The Russian (Cyrillic) variant is broken (it was broken
before, too, but differently) - no cyrillic glyphs are shown, as they
are not available in TeX Gyre.
* Variant 1++ - TeX Gyre for all fonts
--------------------------------------
The Sans fonts and Mono font settings in the above are taken over
from the defaults in dblatex. In case of TeX Gyre it might be an
option to use fonts from the same family, in this case the long code
would be:
\setmainfont{texgyrepagella-regular.otf}[
BoldFont = texgyrepagella-bold.otf ,
ItalicFont = texgyrepagella-italic.otf ,
BoldItalicFont = texgyrepagella-bolditalic.otf]
\setsansfont{texgyreadventor-regular.otf}[
BoldFont = texgyreadventor-bold.otf ,
ItalicFont = texgyreadventor-italic.otf ,
BoldItalicFont = texgyreadventor-bolditalic.otf]
\setmonofont{texgyrecursor-regular.otf}[
BoldFont = texgyrecursor-bold.otf ,
ItalicFont = texgyrecursor-italic.otf ,
BoldItalicFont = texgyrecursor-bolditalic.otf]
See attached patch
fix-fonts-variant1-full-tex-gyre.diff
Advantages and disadvantages as above.
* variant 2 - Charis SIL
------------------------
fonts-sil-charis needs to be installed
The code to be added is
\setmainfont{CharisSIL-R.ttf}[
BoldFont = CharisSIL-B.ttf ,
ItalicFont = CharisSIL-I.ttf ,
BoldItalicFont = CharisSIL-BI.ttf]
\setsansfont{FreeSans}
\setmonofont{FreeMono}'
See attached patch
fix-fonts-variant2-charis.diff
Advantage: all languages are properly supported, English and Russian both produce
proper documents on Jessie.
Disadvantage: Font appearance changed.
* variant 3 - mixture of the two
--------------------------------
needs a bit of Makefile magic, I leave this to you as I don't see
how to treat LINGUA and LANGUAGES etc etc consistently.
* variant 4 - any other ttf/otf fonts
-------------------------------------
There are some other font families out there that can be used,
I took those I know.
Hope that helps, if you have any other questions, please let me know.
All the best
Norbert
