When you have a doubt if a font is rather fantasy or something else, that usually means the font is fantasy. Also you can check in fontforge what the font author declared (ctrl+e) Here you'll see the OS/2 PFM family is set to "Decorative" which is another name for "Fantasy". > The other thing is the numeral prefix. > I set it to 60 because it's latin but I'm not sure if it's not more a > low priority font (means 61-64). I'd have put it to 63-64 because it has no bold/italic variants so it's better to let more complete fonts resolve first. > Like to hear your opinion on that two > things. > > I'm coming to the .spec file now.

Do I need to make any changes to this because the archive is > a zip rather than a tar.gz archive? %setup will process most of the well-known archive formats automatically. It's not limited to zip. What it can't do is guess if upstream used the sane convention of using a top directory named the same way as the archive or something else. If you're in the "something else" case you need to pass some flags to % setup manually http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-macros.html %setup is about the only part of the template that must be changed in a case-by-case basis depending on how upstream packed its sources. > Next section is the %install command.

As documented in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template you have at most the *.ttf to change in the %install section, if your fonts are located in a subdirectory and not directly in the root directory of the archive. -- Nicolas Mailhot
