[announce] bugzilla Fonts component
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

Hello, First I should apologize for not discussing this more widely earlier, but in the i18n subproject we recently suggested and requested that there should be a generic 'Fonts' component in bugzilla for Fedora since we often see various generic fonts bugs which take time to determine and resolve and would easily get lost in the broad 'distribution' component. See https://pagure.io/i18n/issue/124 and https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/9368 for more background. Currently i18n-bugs is the primary assignee and fonts-bugs is in auto-CC. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&component=Fonts… I think it can be used in two ways - primarily (long term) for distro wide fonts issues that are not bugs of a particular component (eg discussions on changing default fonts, etc) - possibly triaged from some font component, and secondly when users have no idea what component to file fonts issues under, which then would need to be triaged to a particular font package. I don't think we will see a huge number of bugs under this component but it should be useful for tracking longer term issues and problems. If this also helps to encourage Fonts SIG activity that would also be a good thing. Thanks, Jens

Converting montserrat spec to new version

Hello team, I started converting the current julietaula-montserrat-fonts spec to the new version [1] using ibm-plex-fonts as template [2], but struggled to understand the functionality. Here is an example below: -- BuildArch: noarch %global fontpkgname julietaula-montserrat %global fontconf 61-%{fontpkgname} # Override versioning to sync with upstream Epoch: 1 Version: 7.222 Release: %autorelease URL: https://github.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat %global foundry julietaula %global fontlicense OFL %global fontlicenses OFL.txt %global fontdocsex %{fontlicenses} %global fontfamily1 Montserrat %global fontsummary1 Sans-serif typeface inspired from Montserrat area %global fonts1 *.otf %global fontdescription1 %{expand: A typeface inspired by signs around the Montserrat area \ of Buenos Aires, Argentina.} %global fontfamily2 MontserratAlternates %global fontsummary2 Sans-serif typeface inspired from Montserrat area %global fonts2 *.otf %global fontdescription1 %{expand: A typeface inspired by signs around the Montserrat area \ of Buenos Aires, Argentina.} Source0: %{url}/archive/v%{version}.tar.gz#/Montserrat-%{version}.tar.gz Source1: %{name}-fontconfig.conf Source2: %{name}-alternates-fontconfig.conf Source3: %{fontpkgname}.metainfo.xml Source4: %{fontpkgname}-alternates.metainfo.xml BuildArch: noarch BuildRequires: fontpackages-devel BuildRequires: libappstream-glib Requires: fontpackages-filesystem # Reset the old date based versioning Obsoletes: %{name} < 1:%{version}-%{release} %description %{common_description} %package common Summary: Common files for %{name} Requires: fontpackages-filesystem %description common %{common_description} This package consists of files used by other %{name} packages. %package -n %{fontpkgname} Summary: Base version of the Montserrat area inspired typeface Requires: %{name}-common = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release} %description -n %{fo As noticed, two subpackaged webfonts are listed because they are required from the landing page for Fedora Apache.
