Dear sir, As part of the automated sanity tests we run on the fonts shipped in Fedora, we've detected that the following font files declare face attributes a part of their font family name : washrab.ttf Ethiopic WashRa Bold, Bold washrasb.ttf Ethiopic WashRa SemiBold, Bold http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-fonts-list/2009-June/msg00001.html To help applications manipulate them, they should be fixed to declare: washrab.ttf Ethiopic WashRa, Bold washrasb.ttf Ethiopic WashRa, Demi Bold (or whatever weight is appropriate for the second one according to the WWS specs) For compatibility with legacy applications that only know of Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic you can declare your old names at ID 1 & 2 and the fixed names at ID 16/17 or 21/22 See also http://blogs.msdn.com/text/attachment/2249036.ashx http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/typotechnica2007/Font%20names.pdf In addition, to help classify the fonts for our users, we'd like to know what is the preferred generic CSS family for each of them, and if several fonts belong to the same family how an Ethiopian user would rank them: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-CSS2-20090423/fonts.html#generic-font-families Finally, while we understand the intention is for the font files to be OFL-ed, some of them still declare "GPL + font exception" in their metadata (for example washrab.ttf). Both the GPL + font exception and the OFL are perfectly fine licenses but it would avoid problems if the licensing text in the font matched the licensing text outside the font. I hope we can continue to work together making high-quality Ethiopic fonts available to Ethiopic users Best regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fonts_SIG
