Hi, If those fonts isn't supposed to be used outside Wine, I think you don't need to install them under /usr/share/fonts. This exception is applied to texlive say. --- Akira TAGOH ----- Original Message ----- | Hello, | | As Wine co-maintainer I would like to open a discussion on the fonts that | Wine | includes. For those that do not know Wine[1] is a set of libraries that | allows | Windows executables to run under a Linux environment. | | Wine includes several fonts in order to provide support that Windows programs | expect to exist. Packages include: | - wine-arial-fonts | - wine-courier-fonts | - wine-fixedsys-fonts | - wine-marlett-fonts | - wine-ms-sans-serif | - wine-small-fonts | - wine-symbol-fonts | - wine-system-fonts | - wine-tahoma-fonts | - wine-tahoma-fonts-system | - wine-wingdings-fonts | | These packages (exception of wine-tahoma-fonts) install fonts to | /usr/share/fonts and affect rendering in applications that call upon these | fonts. Users have complained[2][3] of rendering using these fonts. I do not | experience poor rendering with these fonts so it is hard for me to | sympathize, | but I hate having open bugs that go unanswered. | | Can the Fedora Font SIG provide guidance? Should Wine be installing to | /usr/share/fonts? | | Thanks, | Michael | | [1] https://www.winehq.org/ | [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693180 | [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1039763 | | _______________________________________________ | fonts mailing list | fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts | http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/ _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
