Bug 1458840: Review Request: urw-base35-fonts - Level 2 Core Font Set for
Ghostscript

--- Comment #1 from David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] <dkaspar@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Hello Zdenek,

could you please look at this new package? You might need additional FPG,
because this is the fonts package. Here are the useful links related to fonts
in Fedora:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts

Some of the policies were deliberately bypassed, because they either don't
apply here, would make maintenance here harder or just does not make any sense
in this case. The whole reasoning about how the package was created is written
in the 
beginning of the specfile. Please, read it, if you can.

Here are the mailing list threads about this package I've started before:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thr
ead/RUI5GH3LBSQTKBF6HDIW6RRC6CYOVZAT/#RUI5GH3LBSQTKBF6HDIW6RRC6CYOVZAT
[Versioning Mess of previous 'urw-fonts' package]

[Request for exception #1]
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thr
ead/EO4N666V6V4VJGRBPH7Y4VG3YSDN64TN/
[Request for exception #2]

------------------

One thing that is not mentioned there is Grouping:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Grouping
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thr
ead/CEGLZXCXTHD7TMS7AQ5KQPPNT7NAXUBZ/

As I understand the wiki, the Grouping does not apply for these fonts, because
they are not meant just for some languages, like e.g. DejaVu fonts for Cyrrilic
writings.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. :)
