by Hans de Goede 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

Hi all, I noticed Google has recently launched its google font directory. As part of this they have negotiated the opening up of various previous not completely open fonts. Here a list of fonts which we have not yet packaged, and which are not on the wishlist either: Cantarell by Dave Crossland (4 variants) http://abattis.org/cantarell/ Cardo by David Perry http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/cardo/ This one is interesting in that it is intended for studies of old (religious) books and thus contains a lot of scripts Crimson Text by Sebastian Kosch http://aldusleaf.org/ IM Fell by Igino Marini (10 families) http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/felltypes Digitization of various 17th century fonts Josefin Sans Std Light by Santiago Orozco http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/josefin/ Lobster by Pablo Impallari http://www.impallari.com/lobster/ Hand written font with various ligatures for better connecting of letters. Molengo by Denis Jacquerye http://code.google.com/p/molengo-fonts/ Nobile by Vernon Adams (4 variants) http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/nobile/ OFL Sorts Mill Goudy TT by Barry Schwartz (2 variants) http://code.google.com/p/sortsmill/downloads/list Reenie Beanie by James Grieshaber http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/reeniebeanie/ Tangerine by Toshi Omagari http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/tangerine/ Vollkorn by Friedrich Althausen (2 variants) http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/vollkorn/ Regards, Hans

Help packaging font.
by Rene Ribaud 01 May '10

01 May '10

Hello, I'm pretty new on this list so let me quickly introduce myself, my name is René Ribaud, I live in the south east of France in the Alps. I work in computer science (Unix/Linux/storage) for a big computing company. I have used Fedora for several years and I would like to bring my small contribution to this project by packaging software. I would like to package the KanjiStrokeOrder font provide here : http://sites.google.com/site/nihilistorguk/ However despite I have read documentation on the Fedora wiki, I still have some doubts or questions. That's the reason why I'm writing on this list. Most of my questions are related to fontconfig. I have read this : "You should always consider adding fontconfig tuning to your font packages." and this is the beginning of my problems. :) So I have written the simple, minimal fontconfig file provided below : /<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "../fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <alias> <family>KanjiStrokeOrders</family> <default> <family>sans-serif</family> </default> </alias> </fontconfig> / And I choose the lowest priority font prefix 69, to not overwrite any font settings and also because the definition "Fonts with less common encodings, ending with fonts that provide coverage of exotic unicode blocks at the expense of drawing quality" seems to be good for this font. So I wonder : - If the fontconfig file is fine or need more information inside ? - If the prefix is the good one and maybe more rules to select it ? All advises regarding these points will be welcomed. I also provide the following links, this is not for a review, I will ask for one later. But it may be interesting for you.
