Created attachment 457386 [details] stix-fonts-2.0.0.ebuild I think that this version bump should be more considerate: 1) First, STIX-2.0.0 provides new family names «STIX Two Text» and «STIX Two Math» explicitly to support coexistance with STIX-1. I suggest putting this ebuild in a different slot, and take care to install in a different directory (maybe /usr/share/fonts/stix-fonts-2/ ?). I.e. put FONT_PN="stix-fonts-2" before "inherit font" line — that will redefine installation directory, and use SLOT="2" 2) Second, configuration file 61-stix.conf seems outdated. The current font does not define «STIXGeneral» font family, or any other family mentioned in this conf file. I'm not really into fontconfig conf files, but release notes of STIX-2.0.0 read that «The STIX-General packaging of the fonts is no longer supported» which suggests that 61-stix.conf is no longer relevant in its current form. I suggest removing FONT_CONF=( "${FILESDIR}"/61-stix.conf ) line. Or maybe I'm missing the importance of this file, in wich case it probably should be edited to reflect changes in font packaging. Suggested ebuild tested (including coinstallation with STIX-1.1.1) and attached.
July is right - 'STIX Two' is indeed a NEW font. Additional information can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/p/stixfonts/tracking/78/ I'm not sure about the best solution. We could have a slotted ebuild as suggested by July. We could also have an ebuild that installs both versions (STIX and STIX TWO). Or we could have two different ebuilds: 'stix' and 'stix-two'... I change the status back to 'open'.
Created attachment 579326 [details] stix-fonts-2.0.1.ebuild All the hand-wringing over whether or not this is Stix Two is a moot point in 2019, as Stix One is unable to be found on the internet anymore. Looks like this is the 2.0 of Stix, and there has been a 2.0.1 release, so have another version bump. Perhaps we can now close this open bug from 2016?
from the Styx Fonts website: https://github.com/stipub/stixfonts Version 2 of the STIX fonts, now known as “STIX Two”, is a thorough revision of version 1 undertaken by the renowned type house Tiro Typeworks. The STIX Two fonts consist of four text fonts (Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic) and one Math font. Together, they provide a uniform set of fonts that can be used throughout the production process, whether that be a traditional print-only process, an entirely electronic one, or a combination of the two. As it says, it's just a revision, not a new font. Let's close this bug after the version is bumped.
Jason, I disagree. It is a revision, but not “just a revision”. It goes with a new font family name. Which is probably irrelevant, okay. But it also removed some font families, something around “STIXGeneral”, which apparently were installed by STIX 1 and are not installed by STIX 2. Because of this, the file 61-stix.conf is obsolete, since it references those font families that do not exist anymore. I still suggest that this file should be updated before ebuild is stabilised.
Slotting is best. There does seem to be a copy of 1.1.1 living on the author's git repository. I hesitate to pull down the entire git repo just for less than 1/5th of the overall code, but everything that requires the previous fontconfig file still exists there. the 1.1.1 ebuild needs to be rebuilt to point at this repo as well, as the ebuild is currently broken and is blocking dev-python/matplotlib from building.
