Request to change official Khmer font on Fedora
by Somvannda Kong 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hi everyone, My name is Somvannda, I am from Cambodia, and I am a new Fedora Ambassador for Cambodia. Well, I noticed that the official Khmer font come within the Fedora was not a good one, since it does not give an easy-to-read for user and the font size is also big. I would like to make a request to change the official font from Khmer OS to Hanuman in the next release. You can find the font here https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Hanuman. You can also see the statistic that lots of Khmer people are like using this font right now. Please let me know if you have any question! Kindly regards, Somvannda -- *Senior IT Officer * *Transparency International Cambodia*Address : No. 166, Preah Norodom Blvd, Sangkat Tonle Bassac, Khan Chamkarmorn, Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia Tel : (+855) 23 21 44 30 / 23 21 42 11 HP : (+855) 16 34 55 69 / 77 57 78 99 URL : http://www.ticambodia.org

[Announce] Liberation fonts version 2 now available on github as well
by pravin.d.s＠gmail.com 25 Apr '14

Hi All, Liberation is very special fonts in opensource world. It has served open source communities for more that 7 years. It has got an excellent user base. We released liberation 2.0 two years back. Though we reverted this change in Fedora due to mismatch of hinting bytecode with liberation1. Liberation 2 is actively used with Libreoffice for last 2+ years, since it has got a better character coverage. Recently i had conversation with Wikimedia developer Ryan Kaldari where he mentioned "We evaluated numerous fonts and Liberation Sans had the highest overall score of all the FOSS sans-serif fonts we evaluated." There was an issues [1] with positioning of accent marks which we have fixed. After it i believe Wikipedia is also now using Liberation fonts from bug. [2] For better collaboration for upcoming development of liberation 2, we have now made it available on github. [3] Existing fedorahosted git will be still there but i will mostly use it only for liberation 1.07 and liberation 2.0 development will happen on github and i will just sync fedorahosted git with github periodically.

Fontconfig questions
by Julien Enselme 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hi, While packaging SimpleCV (#1070946), we found some included fonts that are not yet available in Fedora. I am now on the process of packaging them. I am currently focussing on Astloch font. Here is the fontconfig file I created for review. I am not sure about the prefix. I guess that 61 is OK. Bugzilla ticket: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081782 Filename: 61-astloch-fonts.conf File content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <alias> <family>Astloch</family> <prefer> <family>monospace</family> </prefer> </alias> </fontconfig> I also guess that I must create a wiki page about the font but I haven't found any particular instructions in the wiki. Maybe a copy/paste + adaptation of an existing page is OK? Regards, Julien Enselme
