From VFB to UFO to TrueType?
by Paul Flo Williams 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Several of the League of Movable Type faces are mentioned on the Fonts Wishlist, with caveats that they should be built from source. In this case, the source is VFB, FontLab's format. In order to go from here to OTF, we must apparently package RoboFab, according to the advice on the wiki pages, so we can export UFO using RoboFab, and feed this into FontForge. However, I've just taken a look at RoboFab, and I can't see a way in which it can be used to export UFO from a VFB file without having FontLab installed. You can certainly go from TTF or Type 1 to UFO, but going from VFB requires that FontLab has already loaded the VFB. Firstly, has anyone examined RoboFab more closely and can tell me that I'm missing something? Or alternatively, would it be OK to package the TLOMT fonts with OTFs in their zips without going from source?

LG Oski * fonts
by TK009 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

While looking for some other fonts to package I noticed that all the LG Oski fonts are "All rights reserved" in the font metadata. I didn't look at any of the other LG fonts. As the fonts wish list page says GPL3 I was a bit confused. More additions to the retirement page? tk009

re: GUST fonts

I like the fonts and have packaged them for myself already. I didn't think they could be packaged do to conflicting licenses. If they can be packaged as is, I am all for that, I didn't believe they could be without creator intervention. Regarding the emails I sent, I am very far from a zealot so I included no freetardiness in them. I was very polite and respectful. If they can be packaged as is I will gladly package them up. Let me know. If they can not, then imho they should be removed from the wish list. There is no reason to bow down to anyone and this creator has reached that line. TK009

GUST fonts

Hello all, I've been interested in packaging the GUST fonts. Twice now I've tried to contact the creator of the fonts, the first time about 3 months ago and again two weeks ago without success. These fonts should be retired wishlist. TK009

Introduction, and ADF Gillius packaging
by Marc Stewart 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hello! I'm trying to make the move from user to contributor, and think that a bit of font packaging is something I can do. Since there are already a couple of ADF fonts packaged to use as a reference, and it is first on the list (at least alphabetically), Gillius looks like a good place to start. I've already done the fontconfigs, and am about to install fontpackages-devel for the packaging proper, so I thought I'd best say "hello" before I need to start asking questions. Incidentally, there seems to be a little contradiction in the instructions. The Joining the Fonts SIG wiki page says to "apply to the packager group by clicking the Apply! button", but the linked packager group page disagrees: "Please do not apply to this group. Your sponsor will add you" Marc

Packaging page ... odd?
by Dave Pawson 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Just been reading https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle and I noted that the table is cut off on the right? rhs cells don't show. Cleared by reducing the font on my screen? [Cntrl -] No horizontal scroll bar available to allow me to have the larger font and scroll over to see the content. there's so much CSS and js used I can't tell just what the problem is, but it is an accessibility issue for me. regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.
