The font is a proprietary one, named Bryant2, is not possbile to
redistribute it:
http://www.processtypefoundry.com/typefaces/bryant2/index.html
I tried to reproduce it by tracing samples at a very high-resolution,
is hard and I am not an expert in fonts.
John, it really depends what you are trying to use the font for. Are you
just trying to develop Fedora logo artwork? If so, you can get a vector
version of the Fedora logo including the 'fedora' text. There is a
process to do this documented here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo#head-676bb5dfefa6e0f7c324dde85ebb11223186189c
The logo SVG isn't available on the web (or at least shouldn't be)
because of trademark issues - we try to limit who has access to it to
prevent abuse and risk of losing the trademark.
If someone has time, perhaps go through sites like...
http://1001freefonts.com/fonts/ and pick out ones that are similar to
the one used in the logo? The FAQ on this site says:
Q : Are all the fonts on this website free?
A : The majority of fonts on this website are freeware, but a small
percentage are shareware so if you decide to keep any shareware fonts
please register them. Registration information can be found on the
readme.txt file attached.
Not very knowledgeable about font legal issues...but seems ok to use?
Again this depends on what you're trying to use the font for and the
specific font's license. In all cases of doubt it's best to ask the font
copyright holder.
If you're trying to use the font as a substitute for Bryant in the
fedora logo, it would violate the Fedora branding guidelines.
