PT Serif and PT Mono fonts packaging
by Rajeesh K V 24 Nov '14

Hi, I'd like to maintain/co-maintain PT Serif[1] and PT Mono[2] fonts by paratype. Would it be better to include them in the existing PT Sans[3] fonts package - incorporate in the same spec as multiple packages, or as individual specs? Here's the altered spec file[4] and srpm[5] combining all 3 paratype fonts. (Note the hack in %prep phase due to source packages containing same file names). What do you think?

[Announce] Next improved release of Lohit Devanagari 2.95.0 with Latin and ttfautohinted.

Last release of Lohit Devanagari we did in Feb 19, 2014. During the time number of improvements happened in Lohit Devanagari. Today releasing its next version with all the improvements. [1] * Following are the improvements:* 1. Added Latin from https://github.com/etunni/lohit-latin Yes, This happened :) I would like to thanks Dave for this, who helped to get Latin for Devanagari done from Eduardo Rodriguez Tunni. Now one will not feel major difference while rendering of Lohit Devanagari text with Latin since Lohit has Latin coverage itself. 2. One of the requirement of ttfautohint is to have Latin support in fonts. (AFAIK) Due to this we were not using ttfautohint for building Lohit Devanagari. Now since we have Latin in Lohit Devanagari, we have started building ttf with ttfautohint. It means Lohit Devanagari now requires ttfautohint as a build requirement. 2. We started compiling feature file with Adobe font development kit. (AFDKO). As announced earlier as well. Feature file of Lohit Devanagari was not compiling in OTM. [2] Root cause of problem was fontforge is bit relax while validating feature file. Had good discussion with Dave and Frank on this and finally we decided to compile feature file with AFDKO. [3] This also helped us to futher identified issues in feature file and we fixed those issues in feature file. 3. Updated sfd file with resolved issues regarding marathi locale (issue id on github: #46,#47) These were local related issues not tested well earlier. 4. Improved Vedic accent positioning issues. Resolves issue # https://github.com/pravins/lohit2/issues/11 5. Added new characters uni1cf5 and uni1cf6 Looking forward for Dave's more support to add Latin in all Lohit script fonts. Enjoy improved version of Lohit Devanagari. Please report if any issues at github [4]. I have updated fedorahosted.org/lohit [5] page with download details I want to verify Lohit Devanagari with Hindi script grammer [6] and make sure it follows all rules. Soon i am going to ping some linguist who can help into this. Cheers, Pravin Satpute 1. https://fedorahosted.org/releases/l/o/lohit/lohit-devanagari-ttf-2.95.0.tar… 2. https://github.com/pravins/lohit2/issues/13 3. https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/afdko 4. https://github.com/pravins/lohit/issues/new 5. https://fedorahosted.org/lohit/ 6. http://www.tdil-dc.in/index.php?option=com_vertical&parentid=79&lang=en

Hi. I've just added a new fonts request onto the wishlist: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ume_fonts I'm planning to package it myself, unless someone else is interested, however as I am no font expert I'd appreciate some mentoring ... I want to have these fonts packages to help with proper packaging of UFO:AI (bz#1157255).
