Bug#1006953: fonts-creep2: Font does not install correctly, so does not show up in GUI font lists



Control: tag -1 + moreinfo

Hi David,

it does not show up in e.g. the font list in AbiWord,
or the font list in Konsole, etc., despite being a TrueType font supposedly.

As you may have figured out, "creep2" is a "special" font because it is shipped as a TrueType font but it contains a bitmap font. I am not surprised that the font does not work *in some software*, but not all of them.

I can at least reproduce this in AbiWord: the font seems absent from the font list.

Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

See attached a screenshot of the font package being successfully used in the "gnome-terminal" application. I know it as a "works on my machine" answer, but maybe AbiWord and Konsole are buggy themselves? Can you try with gnome-terminal to see if it works for you locally? (info-needed)

It does not install correctly,

As far as I am concerned by inspecting the package’s content, the font looks correctly installed on the system:

$ dpkg -L fonts-creep2
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/creep2.ttf

If we can confirm that the font does not work on *some* software (but, again, not all of them), then I think we could re-title this bug accordingly and reduce its severity.

Bests,

Agathe.
