----- Original Message ----- | * The ID is what gnome-software uses internally, don't read too much | into the format. | | * The "Parent" is supposed to be the parent font name, so for | instance, "Lato Thin" and "Lato Black" would both have the parent of | "Lato" That is in fact a long standing issue or a long-term RFE in fontconfig. I'd manage to fix/improve it though. | | * The "Name" is currently set at what the font provides us with, and | we can tweak this if requires, for instance "roadstencil" can become | "Road Stencil" | | * The "Summary" is a one line description of the font, for instance | "Lato is a sanserif typeface family". You only need one description | per parent. Well, I have a plan to have a family class in the cache. it will be able to generate the summary like the above automatically with it I believe. That feature isn't yet merged into master because it requires bumping the cache version. | * The "Description" is a 2-3 paragraph description of the font, which | is optional as it's not currently shown in the mockup. It's included | here for completeness as it could be shown in the future when the user | clicks "More info". Why don't you simply pick it up from the package description? it should has enough wording and having separate metadata looks duplicate to me though. | | I would be very grateful of any help, as all of you know two order of | magnitude more about fonts than me. If you also have any comments | about the UI mockups, either reply to this email, or ping me, jimmac | or aday in #gnome-design on GIMPNet. | | I've filled in a few details on the spreadsheet[1] already, but feel | free to change what I've already done if it's wrong. | | Thanks, | | Richard | | [1] | https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtzJKpbiGX1zdC05ZlA0dEZTQmYyaFhza05MVGtVZXc&usp=sharing | _______________________________________________ | fonts mailing list | fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts | http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/ -- Akira TAGOH _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
