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

Missing font information at wiki

Hi, All of fonts is supposed to have an information page for their fonts at wiki based on the template[1] according to the package lifecycle[2]. however some of them doesn't have. so just tried to pick them up and inform you to get one there. Please see the following source package list which may contains a font package that doesn't have an information page at wiki, and would be nice to have one for them.

Thanks, I thought something like that existed, but I couldn't find it. Are the sources for the generator of that page available somewhere? Zbyszek

It seems that this would require two steps: first a service which exports the appdata information on the web somewhere in standarized format, and then code in fedora-packages to display that information. (The reason why fedora-packages cannot do this directly is that appdata information can only be reliably extracted from the final rpm, and that's a slow operation). I cc'd recent fedora-packages contributors, maybe they can provide more info. Zbyszek > [1]: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/

I'm sure there are bugs. just wonder if we can use gnome-font-viewer for screenshots? It does the job what we want/expect on a font for preview. -- Akira TAGOH

Right. But should they be? A font looks the same in any language... Zbyszek

Building Emoji Two
by Peter Oliver 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Emoji Two (https://emojitwo.github.io/) is a fork of the Emoji One font (https://www.emojione.com/), taken before Emoji One changed to a non-free licence. I understand that there’s some interest in getting this packaged, so that it could potentially be the default emoji font in Fedora Workstation (see, e.g., https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496761#c17). The complication is that the Emoji Two project provide only artwork, not the tooling to assemble that artwork into a font. I’ve had a go at this, using Google’s Noto Emoji tooling, and the results are at https://pagure.io/emojitwo-fonts. Would someone with more font experience than me like to take a look at this before I formally submit the package for review? In particular: - Blindly copying NotoColorEmoji.tmpl.ttx.tmpl to create EmojiTwo.tmpl.ttx.tmpl without understanding what this file does seems likely to be somehow problematic. - I’ve not yet tested this on Fedora 27, so don’t know whether the font displays correctly in colour. Thanks. -- Peter Oliver

Airbus is open sourcing a cockpit font
by nicolas.mailhot＠laposte.net 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi, If anyone interested, Airbus is open sourcing the font used in its future cockpit projects. Their target is maximum legibility in constrained environments. That would probably be very nice to package for embedded Fedora uses, coding, etc. https://www.polarsys.org/projects/polarsys.b612 https://www.eclipsecon.org/france2017/content/speaker-pitch-b612-new-font-f… Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
