I'll gladly do some testing. As for the packaging, given that it's a
derivative of Liberation, perhaps someone from Redhat will step up and
include them in the official package...

i have worked on a derivative version of liberation sans for a
client (a
public university in brazil). i have made several changes to the
design of
the existing fonts (it is closer to univers and akzidenz grotesk),
and
created new ultralight and extrabold weights as well as small caps,
proportional numbers and case-sensitive punctuation for the text
fonts (but
no greek or cyrillic).
the university will be releasing their new visual identity soon,
along with
the fonts. i plan to release an extended version* of the family
(under a
different name) in september/october through my foundry.
* including condensed and extended fonts for use in newspapers and
magazines
[the fonts were designed in the 'ivory tower' way, with mostly
proprietary
software (macosx, fontlab, superpolator).]
i would be happy if these fonts could end up in linux distros.
if anyone is interested in testing the fonts on linux and taking
care of the
packaging, please drop me a line.
regards,
- gustavo.
ps: the fonts are in opentype cff format.
