The Google Fonts toolchain is challenging to package, so it seems unlikely that Google Fonts can be built from source in Fedora soon. It is nice to have alternatives such as Lohit that just require FontForge. It seems easier for community members to add Glyphs with FontForge than with the Google Fonts toolchain. The suggestion to enable priority for Lohit if it is installed seems reasonable and may be helpful for other language specific fonts. > > Regards, > Pravin > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > fonts mailing list -- fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > <mailto:fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To unsubscribe send an email to fonts-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > <mailto:fonts-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/> > List Guidelines: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines> > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Do not reply to spam, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue > <https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue> > > > _______________________________________________ > fonts mailing list -- fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to fonts-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue _______________________________________________ i18n mailing list -- i18n@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to i18n-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/i18n@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
