Hi, I have started to look into font-packaging as the kde-sig needs a couple of fonts that are currently shipped with e.g. kdeedu and kdelibs packaged separately. The first font I am looking into is dustismo: (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dustimo_fonts) (Dustismo is currently shipped with kdeedu: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477406) I have a first spec-file here: http://sven.lank.es/Fedora/SPECS/dustismo.spec http://sven.lank.es/Fedora/SRPM/dustismo-fonts-20030207-1.fc11.src.rpm As my knowledge about fonts is basically zero I'd like to get some feedback on the spec-file before submitting this for a package review. The wishlist wiki-page mentions "GPL with font exception" for this font - but the font-exception is not in the license that is shipped with the fonts (GPLv2+) so this is probably wrong. The last update of this font was in 2003 - it is currently only available on 3rd-party font-sites. There doesn't seem to be an 'upstream' anymore. There are two things I wasn't quite able figure out using the fontsig-wiki-pages: 1. Is it acceptable to ship a font with only the ttf and no other 'source'? The spec template has this: > Building fonts from sources is always preferred. For GPLed or LGPLed > fonts this is required by the license. 2. I do need some help with filling the description with something meaningful Again quoting the spec-template: > Font descriptions must detail information on the font style, > Unicode coverage, and intended use[3] to help users choose the > right packages to install. ... What other information could/should I add to the description 3. fontconfig My feeling is that I don't need any fontconfig-files for a font like this. Am I right? Thanks for your feedback. -- sven === jabber/xmpp: sven@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
