Embedded bitmap should be enabled by default

[Qishuai Liu]

Binary package hint: ttf-wqy-zenhei

As this font is the default chinese font in hardy, the small size is ugly. This font has embedded bitmap, and should be enabled by default.

I can confirm this bug. The truetype WenQuanYi Zen Hei font is so blurry that I cannot see the strokes in Chinese character glyphs clearly. It makes Chinese text less artistically pleasing and is very hard to read, especially for font sizes smaller than 13 pixels. Its embedded bitmap font should be used instead.

See bug #206018 for details.

[Qishuai Liu (lqs)]

Remove all "edit"s in 44-wqy-zenhei.conf to enable embedded bitmap.

These others options should be managed by something like gnome-appearance-properties rather than the configuration file.

[Qishuai Liu (lqs)]

Please apply the attached debdiff.

[Wenzhuo Zhang (wenzhuo)]

I mistook Arphic Uming for WenQuanYi Bitmap Song. I don't fall for WenQuanYi fonts, whether bitmap or truetype. Taking back my previous comment (#1). I propose sticking with Arphic Uming.

mistook Arphic UMing for WenQuanYi Bitmap Song. comment #1 invalid. unconfirming

Please sponsor. Thanks.

[Qishuai Liu (lqs)]

I suggest to add the following lines to 44-wqy-zenhei.conf, to force displaying 13px when 14px is not available.

  <match target="font">
        <test qual="any" name="family"><string>WenQuanYi Zen Hei</string></test>
        <test compare="more_eq" name="pixelsize"><double>13.5</double></test>
        <test compare="less" name="pixelsize"><double>14.5</double></test>
        <edit name="pixelsize"><double>13</double></edit>
  </match>

ok, I will modify 03_enable_bitmaps according to your config file.

[Arne Goetje (arnegoetje)]

orz... apparently half of the 03_enable_bitmaps patch got lost. I remember I put these rules in there before, but now they are not there... will redo.

Though bitmap fonts are generally better the scalar counterpart, wqy bitmap is quite buggy and should not be enabled by default.

If the author "liuqishuai" likes bitmap that much, I recommend use uming as the default, because the embedded bitmap in uming is much better than that of wqy.

I strongly suggest to reverse this patch because it has already confused and annoyed too many china ubuntu users.
