Packaging Hack - A typeface designed for source code
by Shawn Starr 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hello Font SIG, I've been in touch with Chris Simpkins about his Hack font, it looks really great for code and I use it for my konsole sessions. Aside from submitting a .spec for review, anyone want to provide comments? Or if someone is packaging this already? :) Link: https://github.com/chrissimpkins/Hack Thanks, Shawn

New gdouros greek fonts

20 Feb '16

Hi everyone, I have just submitted for review and created the wiki pages for gdouros-anaktoria-fonts, gdouros-aroania-fonts and gdouros-asea-fonts. As I have already mentioned, they are closely related to the gdouros-alexander-fonts we already have in Fedora. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1228865 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gdouros_Anaktoria_fonts https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1228868 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gdouros_Aroania_fonts https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1228869 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gdouros_Asea_fonts And I just realized that I've forgotten to file the bug reports against repo-font-audit, will do right away...

Hi, I've added the file triggers for fonts in rawhide to update the cache and dropped the call of fc-cache in %post/un from fontpackages. we may need to rebuild all of font packages eventually though, please let me know if you see any issues about it. -- Akira TAGOH

Fonts display problem in Libre Office for Linux
by John Hardcastle 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hi everyone, This is a request for help which might be font-related. I switched to Fedora recently after finding Fedora 22 was the only Linux distribution that properly supported one of our computer support customer's Canon LBP-1210 laser printer (which is not supported by Microsoft Windows 64-bit, so our customer switched from Microsoft Windows to Fedora 22 64-bit.) There is a problem with Libre Office on Linux, but not on Microsoft Windows. If you open the attached PDF in LibreOffice Draw (to edit the PDF), type runs out to the right of the document under Linux but displays perfectly under Windows. Yet the PDF Viewer on Fedora 22 displays the same PDF properly. I am running Libre Office 5.0.1 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit in an Oracle VM under Fedora 22 Linux, and Libre Office Draw displays the attached PDF properly. But with Libre Office Draw on Fedora 22, type runs out the right side of the document making edits almost impossible. The same thing happened with the previous version of Libre Office, from which I take it that this is a font display problem in Libre Office under Linux. I installed Fedy and Windows fonts, but that did not help. I'd like to be able to use Libre Office on Fedora without resorting to running Windows 10, if possible. Is there a simple solution to this problem? Regards, John

Liberation fonts

Quote from fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/ : There are three sets: Sans (a substitute for Arial, Albany, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, and Bitstream Vera Sans), Serif (a substitute for Times New Roman, Thorndale, Nimbus Roman, and Bitstream Vera Serif) and Mono (a substitute for Courier New, Cumberland, Courier, Nimbus Mono L, and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono). How can Mono substitute for both Courier New and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, when one has serif and the other not? It seems very like that set of attributes that are the generic font names, serif, sans-serif, cursive, fantasy, and monospace. They are only attributes, not disjoint sets. Besides Courier New that has serifs and pitch, and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, which has pitch but not serifs, there is an old Selectric typewriter face called Script 12 pitch, which is also cursive. "Serif" and "sans-serif" are disjoint, and I would vouch for nothing with "fantasy", but "monospaced" is not disjoint with three of them--is "cursive" disjoint with "serif" and "sans-serif"?
