infinality-bundle: good looking fonts made (even) easier

Stefan Husmann · 2015-03-31 17:09:26

Is the freetype2-infinality-ultimate missing some header files the freetype2 package in [extra] has? I am missing ftxf86.h when I try to compile lilypond-git. Yesterday it was working.

bohoomil · 2015-03-31 22:29:17

@Stefan Husmann ftxf86.c and ftxf86.h have been renamed by the upstream:

Thanks, it turns out that the new filenames are correctly detected after deleting the $srcdir and building from scratch.

@bohoomil Question, I noticed that the metapackage (or group) infinality-bundle now includes fontconfig-ui-comp (and I can see why this exists based on the previous posts). I get the following output when I install this group:

> sudo pacman -S infinality-bundle 
:: There are 4 members in group infinality-bundle:

   1) cairo-infinality-ultimate  2) fontconfig-infinality-ultimate
   3) fontconfig-iu-comp  4) freetype2-infinality-ultimate

:: fontconfig-iu-comp and fontconfig-infinality-ultimate are in conflict (fontconfig). Remove fontconfig-infinality-ultimate? [y/N]

It looks like both fontconfig-ui-comp and fontconfig-infinality-ultimate are installed by default when installing infinality-bundle, and of course both packages cannot be installed at the same time, which by default causes this question. The only reason why I'm bringing this up is that I run some scripts to install Arch on new computers, and this is part of that configuration. If I use the default option (to install all), it will error out.

I was wondering if fontconfig-ui-comp could be omitted from the meta-package, so that the metapackage can install cleanly without needing to ask this question. Kind of a silly little thing, but i'd rather the metapackage install either one or the other.

bohoomil · 2015-04-06 06:11:14

@vinadoros You're right, of course. I'll rebuild the package soon. Thanks a lot for the notice.

z1lt0id · 2015-04-07 02:25:40

I recently installed the infinality bundle with the repo onto another machine and noticed how different it looked compared to my main machine which has the same updates on it. Was wondering how I would go about clearing all the infinality configs and then reloading it back on?

quiv · 2015-04-28 02:11:50

Something seems to have gone wrong on one of my machines. I'm not able to download the pacman database files for infinality-bundle or infinality-bundle-multilib.

If I try to curl a file from one of the repositories I get a similar result.

More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

I can replicate the openssl query and curl result on both of my two machines but only on one of them does the pacman database sync fail with a warning about the ssl certs. Perhaps it was something I did to my system and the certificates are really valid, I'm not really sure.

bohoomil · 2015-04-28 02:52:34

@quiv Are you using 'https' in the 'Server' entry for the ib repo? If you are, set it to a regular, non-secure 'http'.

quiv · 2015-04-28 04:18:56

@bohoomil Thanks, that's fixed the problem. Not sure why I ever had https in there in the first place to be honest.

Have the meta (group) names changed? I get 'target not found' for infinality-bundle. From what I saw infinality-bundle-fonts is not the correct name. I've double-checked pacman config, mirrors and the key.

bohoomil · 2015-05-02 23:08:15

@bbarcher It's been covered dozens of times. ;-) First of all, you need to install main libs for your architecture--x64 in this case--which are needed by multilib packages:

pacman -S infinality-bundle infinality-bundle-multilib

Next, you can't issue

$ pacman -S infinality-bundle-fonts

because you don't want to install the entire repository(*). What you most likely do want to do, however, is get the extended font collection:

$ pacman -S ibfonts-meta-extended

and then, if you need any additional font package, install it/them manually.

(*) Look up the explanation in this and the sibling thread.

bbarcher · 2015-05-03 10:23:38

@bohoomil
I followed the arch wiki, step-by-step.

# pacman -S infinality-bundle
error: target not found: infinality-bundle

# pacman -Sg | grep infinality
infinality-bundle-fonts-extra
infinality-bundle-fonts
infinality-bundle-multilib

# pacman -S infinality-bundle infinality-bundle-multilib
error: target not found: infinality-bundle

EDIT:
OK, I've added the wrong repo. bundle-fonts instead of bundle. Sorry for that!

Its ProggyFonts, it's actually a TTF font that looks like a bitmap one, so it doesn't really scale, it only looks good in a specific point size. Hopefully that isn't actually the issue.

Can be, actually. Proggy from the AUR comes as TTF, pcf and bdf in a single package. Are you sure you're using the TTF one?

Edit

That's how it looks on my system (ProggyCleanTT; libs & settings are default for the ib):

Create a symbolic link in /etc/fonts/conf.d to /etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/38-repl-proggy-bitmap.conf just in case and see if this helps.

Edit Sorry -- the advice is rather irrelevant. ;-)

So I had a rule to disable hinting and antialiasing specifically for proggy because I wanted it to look like bitmaps

<match target="font">
   <test name="family" compare="contains">
      <string>Proggy</string>
   </test>

      <bool>false</bool>
   </edit>
   <edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
      <bool>false</bool>
   </edit>
</match>

I've disabled it in an attempt to match your screenshot. Here's what i have

@fungle Could you please check out whether there's only a single (most recent) infinality-settings.sh in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d on your system? No custom settings, leftovers, pacsaves, etc.?

oh god...*shakes head*

So my .xinitrc was sourcing from the old name of the script without the .sh extension so I wasn't sourcing the script at all. Which is funny, because I remember seeing an issue on your github saying you were adding the extension because the old name was breaking somebody else's scripts. lol.

Thanks for the swift replies, and appreciate all the work you do.

From today, when I try to do a pacman -Sy, I get errors about infinality-bundle signature.
