RHBA-2012:0351 - fontforge bug fix update
Synopsis
fontforge bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated fontforge packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
FontForge is a font editor for outline and bitmap fonts. FontForge supports a range of font formats, including PostScript, TrueType, OpenType and CID-keyed fonts.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the "configure.in" file did not include information on how to handle 64-bit PowerPC architectures. Attempting to install the fontforge-devel multilib PowerPC and 64-PowerPC RPM packages on the same 64-bit PowerPC machine led to conflicts between those packages. This update modifies the "configure.in" file, so that fontforge-devel multilib RPM packages are allowed to be installed on the same machine. The conflicts no longer occur in the described scenario. (BZ#676607)
All users of fontforge are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
