As such, they are built by the user who also downloads the sources directly from sourceforge. There is a lpf wrapper around these which more or less works like a downloader. So, rpmfusion does not re-distribute this. This works the same way as lpf-skype and lpf-spotify, none of which allows re-distribution. The usage is cleared by spot. That said, I really need some input on the package from people who understands this font stuff. I've tried to read the GL and tips, but I'm basically just confused on a higher level. --alec _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
