Howto bitmap font in upstream kbd (i cannot find it in redhat cvs)? It's just packaged -- per the README in the kbd package: The home site of this package is ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/ Report problems with this package to Andries Brouwer <aeb@xxxxxx>. You could file a bug for the Fedora version of kbd to include something, but it's much better to also get it included upstream at the same time. > 2.

It's important to first ensure that they're not derived from any non-free fonts. Once that's done, set up a location where they can be downloaded and you can start the process to add a new package (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Contributors). Alternately, you can work with a project such as dejavu to add coverage for your locale to their existing font. > 3. what about lang-table, as i understand i must have cvs access to > this package, where to get it? Once there is font support in the distribution and translation of anaconda is at around 90%, file a bug report asking for the language to be added to lang-table. Provide the locale name, console font, console keymap, timezone and any graphical fonts needed to support the locale. > 4. also there is one bitmap font in fedora called "fixed" that looks > VERY ugly, we must replace it ASAP, where is it included? It's from upstream X if it's the font I think you're talking about. Jeremy
