I am willing to fix those packages if they are needed to be renamed. Please tell me or open new bugzilla and I will rename them. I do have plan to package remaining fonts but I think then I will wait for some more time then. Packages from above list which are now in fedora are tangerine-fonts lobster-fonts josefinsansstd-light-fonts crimson-text-fonts molengo-fonts ofl-sorts-mill-goudy-fonts cardo-fonts should foundry name for these be upstream website names? or googlefontdirectory or just google? If it should be from upstream then I will choose following names (also will pull latest fonts from website given as now googlefontdirectory is changed within week) tomagiri-tangerine-fonts -> not found any url typemade-josefinsansstd-light-fonts->http://typemade.mx aldusleaf-crimson-text-fonts ->http://aldusleaf.org/ moyogo-molengo-fonts ->http://code.google.com/u/moyogo/ crudfactory-ofl-sorts-mill-goudy-fonts->http://home.comcast.net/~crudfactory/cf3/index.html scholarsfonts-cardo-fonts-> http://scholarsfonts.net/cardofnt.html Parag. _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
