bug#27107: [PATCH] gnu: font-comic-neue: Add fontconfig alias.

[Alex Griffin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 235 bytes --]

This patch adds a fontconfig alias to the Comic Neue patch, which must
be manually enabled (with a symlink in your fontconfig directory). If
Comic Sans is missing from the system, it displays using Comic Neue
instead.

bug#27107: [PATCH] gnu: font-comic-neue: Add fontconfig alias.

[Arun Isaac]

Thanks for the patch!

Could you rewrite the patch with the new font-build-system? That would
make the patch much shorter. Look at font-dejavu for an example. I
noticed that the source zip archive for font-comic-neue doesn't have a
top level directory. This might cause problems. If so, you'll have to
replace the 'unpack phase as well.

Finally, we should have two patches -- the first patch to re-indent and
switch to the new font-build-system, the second patch to add the
fontconfig alias.

bug#27107: [PATCH] gnu: font-comic-neue: Add fontconfig alias.

[Arun Isaac]

The package builds fine without any problems. But, the alias does not
seem to be working. I installed font-comic-neue into my profile and
tried

$ export FC_DEBUG=1024
$ fc-match "Comic Sans MS"

And, got the following output. It does not even seem to be reading the
alias file from the font-comic-neue package. What am I missing? Is the
alias working on your machine?

I could not find a way to change font configuration just by installing a
Guix package, so I installed the alias in the same place that the DejaVu
Sans package uses. So you need to activate the alias manually:

    $ ln -s
    ~/.guix-profile/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/30-comic-neue.conf
    ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/30-comic-neue.conf
    $ fc-cache -f
    $ fc-match 'Comic Sans MS'
    ComicNeue-Regular.ttf: "Comic Neue" "Regular"

Can I ask why you removed my chdir phase before pushing? Without it, the
package now installs 4 duplicated copies of the same font.

Actually it installs just 2 copies: one TrueType and one OpenType. But
it also grabs some other files we don't want, which I think contain
metadata for the Mac OS X version of unzip.

Oops! My bad! I should have asked before doing that. I didn't notice all
the hidden files beginning with a ".". I thought the package was
unchanged with or without the chdir phase. Sorry, I'll rectify this
error in a subsequent commit.

Please find attached a patch fixing the __MACOSX files issue. Let me
know if it's working and fine.

Instead of changing directory, I have deleted the __MACOSX directory. I
think this is a bit more explicit. WDYT?

Yes, it is definitely easier to understand why that phase is there. The
only reason I didn't do it this way from the beginning is because I
didn't know if installing the same font in two different formats would
cause problems or not. It seems to work just fine though.
