-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello team, Design team have recently chosen Cantarell for body text. I have packaged Cantarell fonts for Fedora and am looking for review [1]. I noticed Dave Crossland is part of SIG Fonts so, if interested, he can be co-maintainer of abattis-cantarell-fonts once it passed the review.

Fonts package Makefile?
by Dave Crossland 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, Where can I find a Fedora font SRPM with a makefile, from which I can make one for Cantarell? :-) I suppose this will be a FontForge Python script; if there isn't yet one, I will make one. Cheers Dave

On the fedora fonts bugs list there just appeared a message that the bytecode interpreter in freetype was disabled again. Any idea about why this was done? Greetings Ben

Hi, In case a packager is interested, it seems Symbian has commissioned a CJK font intended to complement DejaVu Sans from Monotype, and released the result under the Eclipse license http://blog.symbian.org/2010/06/09/monotype-imaging-contributes-chinese-fon… Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot

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?
