Hey there Fonts SIG! I'm interested mainly in packaging fonts. I'm new to Fedora, both as a user and as a contributor, so it might be a bumpy ride ;-). I'm consuming as much documentation as I can about the whole font stack. I've got a few questions: 1. What's the consenus about bitmap fonts? On http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_rendering_and_text_layouting I found this: "Nowadays Fedora converges on OpenType (TTF/OTF) fonts in Unicode encoding, and no efforts should be wasted on legacy formats. " Does this mean bitmap fonts should be converted (possibly by hand), or are BDF/PCF fine? (I ask this because some of my favorite fonts are bitmap) 2. What are the most common pitfalls / What should I be aware of as I depart on this journey? 3. Are the fonts listed on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Font_wishlist purely in want of a packeger (i.e. I can get cracking)? _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
