[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: chromium
Version: 0.9.12-1
Severity: serious
Justification: non-free code in main

src/TexFont.cpp and src/TexFont.h contain this:

/* Copyright (c) Mark J. Kilgard, 1997. */

/* This program is freely distributable without licensing fees  and is
   provided without guarantee or warrantee expressed or  implied. This

Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 22:42:19 +0900

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Here is a possible replacement:

http://plib.sourceforge.net/fnt/

plib is in Debian main, so that works.

I'll have a look at switching to it for the next release.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Mark J. Kilgard is very annoyed at Debian and now refuses to talk to
Debian people. As a result I don't think it is a good idea to contact
him about this issue. His comments can be found here:

http://bugs.debian.org/131997

We need to get chromium working with plib and if that doesn't work then
we have to write a libtxf or switch to TTF fonts.

Hi,

I note you are working on the non-free TexFont.cpp in openuniverse
(#467125). Are you willing to help with the same problem in
chromium (#467123)? I tried to adapt your code but chromium uses some
more functions than openuniverse.

Hi,

I'll take a look recently.
Thanks for noticing. :)

I think I have to figure out what those more functions do.

Subject: chromium: 467123: wrapper done, doesn't work
Date: Fri, 09 May 2008 17:15:27 +0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi all,

I've written a plib wrapper for the parts of TexFont used by chromium,
but unfortunately it doesn't render anything. I've attached the new
versions of TexFont.cpp, TexFont.h and the patch needed to let it build
after replacing the old versions with the new versions.

Also our beloved^Wex-DPL might be willing to switch chromium to using
FTGL and TTF fonts.

<pabs> grrrrr
* pabs hates TexFont with a passion
<pabs> anyone feel like helping with getting rid of the non-free code in
chromium? I have a TexFont-compatible wrapper for the plib fnt stuff,
but it doesn't display anything :(
<sam> what does texfont do?
<pabs> its an old font format by Mark J Kilgard, basically for rendering
using OpenGL textures
<pabs> in chromium it renders the menus, scores, etc
<sam> oh, I'll see if I can replace that code with FTGL
<pabs> cool, would you like upstream svn access?
<sam> that would dangerously move my "I'll see if" towards a "I
will" :-)
<sam> let me first look at the code
<pabs> any help is most welcome, been tooo many years since I looked at
opengl stuff
<pabs> mind if I paste this into the bug report?
<sam> I started 2 months ago :-)
<sam> pabs: please do
<pabs> only catch with FTGL would be somehow converting space.txf to a
ttf font
<sam> it looks like only txfRenderFancyString() can possibly be a
problem
<pabs> chromium doesn't use that AFAICT
<sam> it's likely space.txf was created from a truetype font itself
<sam> also, using another font that's already in Debian will allow for
proper i18n
<pabs> true
