This is of course not specific to fonts, or content, we have lots of packaged stuff you can only really understand by browsing the upstream web site. For fonts this bit has been identified: http://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18928 Volunteers to work on it would be welcome. I'll probably post some requirements on the fonts list in the next days if people are interested. > [ i.e. yes, I *am* grateful for your packaging work, and I am not for > a moment > suggesting it doesn't "belong in Fedora" ... ] Thanks! -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
