Hi All, Most of you aware regarding liberation license problem we are facing from long time. Looks like time came when we can get rid of it. Google has recently released google-croscore fonts. - These are from same vendor ascendar with OFL license and more glyph coverage than existing liberation. - Existing shape in liberation and same as croscore since from the same vendor. Plan: - Use base of croscore fonts and apply enhancements available in liberation and call new entity liberation 2.0 Advantage: 1. Liberation license issues will get resolved 2. Liberation user community will get enhanced fonts. i.e. more language coverage. Need help from legal for doing licensing stuff, dunno how we can crack licensing of Liberation SansNarrow. Regards, Pravin Satpute

Hi, It's Great idea!!! I like it very much! I'm from Bulgaria and I use cyrillic alphabet (azbuka;-)). There is more natural italic cyrrillic shapes in croscore fonts and they have old cyrillic letters like 'big yus' and 'yat', that are not in use now, but were in use before 1945.

should we install google croscore font as a default in fedora 18?
by Parag Nemade 15 May '12

Hi all, The updated package google-croscore-fonts-1.21.0-3.fc17 is now pushed to stable. I have done some comparison of Liberation vs Croscore fonts. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Liberation_vs_Croscore_fonts Currently, I have marked google-croscore-fonts as a optional package in comps-f18. Considering it has got more orthography support compared to Liberation font can we install it default? But, I would also say that we have active development for Liberation font and if a bug comes for Liberation font we can fix it. I am not sure how a bug can be fixed for google croscore font. I can't find upstream URL as well as a way to fix any upcoming bugs and get its fix upstream. We can fix them in Fedora only. Any thoughts? Regards, Parag.

Hey, in the absence of time and motivation I'm searching for new maintainers for my font packages. Actually I didn't update them for a while and I think they are in better hands with someone else. It's the following packages: - hartke-aurulent-sans-fonts [1] - vollkorn-fonts [2] - yanone-tagesschrift-fonts [3] If someone's interested please reply to this message or ask for acess in pkgdb. regards, Paul [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/hartke-aurulent-sans-fonts [2] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/vollkorn-fonts [3] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/yanone-tagesschrift-fonts
