A fonts packaging policy rewrite proposal has been pushed to FPC today: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/934
It should be clearer, more opinionated, and take into account: – updates of The OpenType standard – variable fonts – web fonts – upstream depreciation of non OpenType formats – appstream & fonts – weak dependencies – and probably more I forget here
And the proposal has now been approved by FPC: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2020-02-13/fpc.2020-0...
It shall soon replace the content in https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/FontsPolicy/
and make it easier to create good font packages in Fedora.
It is based on the new fonts-rpm-macros project for automation:
The associated review request is here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1803281
Depending on how long the review takes, some of the material in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/fonts-rpm-macros/builds/
may end up in Fedora 32, or slip to the next release.
If it slips pre Fedora 33 font package changes will probably be limited to conservative updates.
