font proposal for new installation
by Bill Nottingham 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

The new installation interface in Fedora 18: - doesn't offer individual package selection - includes infrastructure groups like a fonts group implicitly as part of a desktop environment choice I have the following proposed group to use for that fonts group: <group> <id>basic-fonts</id> <_name>Core set of fonts</_name> <_description>Core fonts for all covered scripts</_description> <default>false</default> <uservisible>false</uservisible> <packagelist> <packagereq>cjkuni-uming-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>dejavu-sans-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>dejavu-sans-mono-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>dejavu-serif-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>jomolhari-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>khmeros-base-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>liberation-mono-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>liberation-sans-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>liberation-serif-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lklug-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-assamese-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-bengali-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-devanagari-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-gujarati-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-kannada-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-malayalam-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-marathi-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-nepali-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-oriya-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-punjabi-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-tamil-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>lohit-telugu-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>madan-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>nhn-nanum-gothic-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>paktype-naqsh-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>paratype-pt-sans-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>sil-abyssinica-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>sil-padauk-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>smc-meera-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>stix-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>thai-scalable-waree-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>vlgothic-fonts</packagereq> <packagereq>wqy-zenhei-fonts</packagereq> </packagelist> </group> Would the fonts SIG prefer: - that this be used for the 'fonts' group? - that it remain a separate group? Thanks, Bill

Git access to Liberation fonts is forbidden
by Deron Meranda 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

According to the page https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/ I am trying to anonymously clone the font sources. However I am getting a 403 Forbidden error. $ git clone http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/liberation-fonts.git Cloning into 'liberation-fonts'... error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden (curl_result = 22, http_code = 403, sha1 = dd838a7227f5635a85ddee4f5b6c9af98d808eac) Is the git repository for these font sources supposed to be publicly accessible (read-only)? Thanks -- Deron Meranda http://deron.meranda.us/

TTF/OTF format fonts in @legacy-fonts may be less activities in upstream. otherwise maybe good to move them into @fonts. Cheers, --- Akira TAGOH

Hello, I wanted to start contributing to the Fedora project by starting to package fonts as I heard its the best and easiest way to start. But there's too much of documentation that gets confusing. I don't know which commands to use and how to build. Can you help me out please? Thanks, Sourav

Required suggestions for adding Latin characters into Lohit fonts
by Pravin Satpute 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi All, Lohit fonts are facing following problems due to unavailability of Basic Latin characters 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=834368#c0 2. While using Lohit as a Web font if browser does not fallback to default Latin font it shows as a square box. 3. If default selected font in fallback not matching with Lohit style, then it does not give pleasing rendering effect. To avoid these problem planning to add Basic Latin support in all Lohit fonts. Need your recommendation for which font we can go for now. 1. It should match with Lohit style 2. License should be compatible with Lohit. If one interested in contributing new designed shape specifically matching with Lohit, that will be even great. One options from my side is adding Liberation Sans shape into it. Both are licensed under OFL. Regards, Pravin Satpute
