It was an accidental omission on that specific section, which is why I corrected it. In fact, I thought I had already done it a while ago, but had forgotten to. I have read your font guideline drafts, and I think they are rather good. We simply just don't want any scriptlets to fail, no matter how unlikely or contained the failure may be. Please don't take it personally. :) ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
