Since we are debating the state of Fedora fonts, I'd also like to add that Fedora should ship as many OpenType fonts as possible. Why? Because it (finally!) includes a decent bundle of TeX (texlive), which contains XeTeX -- a version of TeX that can use advanced OpenType features directly. XeTeX is still a bit inferior to pdftex in some respects (no microtypography), but is far easier to use. Yeah, OOo should get OpenType support too, but I personally don't care much about it. FYI: Because Fedora up to release 8 kept including the obsolete tetex, which I had to patch manually many times, I skipped all Fedoras between 5 and 9! Anything in between would have been a downgrade for me after I started manually adding up to date packages to tetex. And no, I could not just add them locally because they conflicted with the bundled packages in complex ways, so the old ones had to be deleted -- so no yum update tetex for me. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
