Hi all, Inspired by Máirín's activity I've packaged a few fonts which are now stuck into review: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts/Triaging/Pipeline?action=show#review-needed They will probably be the last fonts I'll package since I don't believe being responsible for too many different packages is healthy (ok I'll probably finish the Greek Font Society fonts) Some notes: – these are all OTF fonts, so they won't work in apps that can't handle this format. Some offenders are well-known (OpenOffice.org in particular, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts/QA#known-problems). Go comment/vote in the various upstream issue trackers if you want this fixed. – I didn't package the TrueType variants of the Greek Font Society fonts: most of the TrueType archives do not include a clear license like the OTF ones, they're older so I've no idea if they include the whole last version of the fonts, they declare the same font names and I don't want to find out how applications will react to the same font in two different format on-system. I may reconsider if someone convinces the Greek Font Society to release the same nice archives they did for OTF fonts, and if the fonts in those archives declare a different font name (for example GFS Didot TT) – I used the font files most recent timestamp as version since the fonts all declared a 1.0 version but had obviously been modified several times in their lives. Again if someone convinces the Greek Font Society to use proper versioning I may change this in the future. – most fonts have been declared on fontconfig priority 60, which mean they may take precendence over other latin fonts if neither DejaVu, nor Liberation are installed. Nevertheless I didn't just blindly cut and pasted fontconfig rules, but tried to adapt them to each font. – I do not intend to group the Greek Font Society fonts in any particular way. If there is enough user demand I may create a GFS comps group, but right now I plan to just ship separate fonts files. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
