Package: x-ttcidfont-conf
Version: 13
Severity: important
Despite Defoma claiming that a period (".") and x-ttcidfont-conf
claiming that an underscore ("_") will suffice, there is apparently no
working way to have spaces in an XLFD generated via x-ttcidfont-conf.
Underscores and periods show up in the XLFD regardless.
This is a Bad Thing because most apps would expect to be able to call an
XLFD that has the space in it (*-andale mono-*) rather than one with a
period (*-andale.mono-*) or underscore (*-andale_mono-*), and if the
fonts are being made available only via defoma, this won't be possible.

it seems that this bug no longer happens in modern x-ttcidfont-conf
versions. see, for example, on my system:
$ grep -c 'andale mono' /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/fonts.*
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/fonts.alias:0
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/fonts.dir:30
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/fonts.scale:30
all those lines in the form:
fonts.scale:Andale_Mono.ttf -monotype-andale mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-15
i've closed this bug. if you can reproduce it with latest
x-ttcidfont-conf from unstable (version 17), please write back and
i'll reopen the bug and take a closer look at it.
cheers,
