Nicolas brought up the point recently in a font package review that we
should standardize the naming of our fonts packages to improve
consistency. The proposal is to name all source packages in the form
"*-fonts".
If we agree on this then I think the Fonts Packaging guidelines should
be updated to explicitly reflect this policy.
Here is a list of our source packages that do not currently end in "-fonts":
These old fonts packages should be renamed I guess:
fonts-ISO8859-2 -> ISO8859-2-fonts?
fonts-KOI8-R -> KOI-R-fonts?
This should probably change:
fonts-hebrew-fancy -> fancy-fonts? (from culmus.sf.net)
thaifonts-scalable (upstream name) -> thai-scalable-fonts?
The following are already in the process of disappearing from rawhide:
fonts-arabic - pending removal
fonts-hebrew -recent devel dead.package
fonts-japanese - renamed to japanese-bitmap-fonts today
A few others (*font*):
efont-unicode-bdf -> unicode-bdf-fonts? (maybe better to replace with
GNU Unifont?)
freefont (maybe this too?)
terminus-font -> terminus-fonts?
3, TeX fonts
Probably TeX fonts are outside this discussion?:
(tetex-fonts-hebrew, tex-fonts-hebrew, tetex-eurofont,
tetex-font-cm-lgc, tetex-font-kerkis)
Did I miss any? :)
