The package needs work first: - the spec does not follow our current rules (forces a fontconfig dep) - it lacks any form of fontconfig setup, which is required if you want the ms core font substitution to actually work - the license file is not properly encoded and is dumped in the wrong place Also: - a lot of obvious questions are not answered on the web site or in the package - the screen and print priority of the font was never discussed in Fedora instances, which is not a problem for a minor font but is if you want it to be one of the primary distro ones You can not just dump a few ttfs on the filesystem at the last minute and expect you're done. Font stuff is hard. Users will flame you mercilessly if you make a mistake. Neither Vera nor DejaVu made it in the distro this easily, and they had plenty of upstream reviews before being considered for Fedora (as opposed to a confidential embargoed release process) Like I wrote the package didn't even hit the technical Fedora trail yet. -- Nicolas Mailhot
