Dear Fonts SIG, It was recently mentioned on the webkit-dev mailing list [1] that many TeX Live packages for OpenType fonts can not be installed on Fedora without also installing perl and texlive dependencies. Moreover, these TeX Live packages do not use fontconfig to expose the installed fonts to other applications like WebKit or Gecko browsers. Looking at the families that can be used for math layout, TeX Live has the following subpackages: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-asana-math https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-lm https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-stix https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-tex-gyre https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-xits But only two of them are listed on the Fonts SIG wiki and have independent packages: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/stix-fonts https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/oflb-asana-math-fonts I believe when version 2 of STIX is released [2] it will cover most (but Arabic/RTL) features of XITS. However, it still makes sense to provide packages for GUST math font families: Latin Modern (recommended for Gecko and WebKit), TeX Gyre Bonum, TeX Gyre Pagella, TeX Gyre Schola and TeX Gyre Termes. I would also add a recently released fork of Linux Libertine that be used for math layout but is not included in Fedora's TeX Live yet [3]. So would the Fonts SIG accept to have some packages for these fonts that are separate from TeX Live? I wanted to add them to your Font wishlist but for some reason I'm not able to log in to the Fedora Wiki (despite the fact that I can login to the FAS and signed the CLA). Thanks, Frédéric Wang PS: FYI, Debian also has individual packages for STIX and Asana Math ; and the dependency on TeX Live has recently been removed for Latin Modern and TeX Gyre fonts [4] [1] https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2016-March/028071.html [2] http://stixfonts.org/index.html [3] https://github.com/khaledhosny/libertinus [4] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fonts-devel/2016-March/017485.html
