Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905255 --- Comment #56 from Nicolas Mailhot <nicolas.mailhot@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to comment #54) > (In reply to comment #53) > > The font file seems fine.

From: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy 1. You're not allowed to package fonts in the same (sub)package as other things > Packagers MUST package each font family in a separate (noarch.rpm) > (sub)package 2. You're not allowed to select the font file location yourself > Creating font packages or subpackages in Fedora is done using the > fontpackages-devel package (where font location is determined by a macro precisely to avoid people putting fonts everywhere on the FS) If you apply those mandatory rules in our packaging guidelines you end up with a freesans rpm clone. At which point (that the guidelines do not state explicitely, because it should be obvious) you're better of using the freesans rpm directly In practical terms, those rules means that any non-font (sub)package if Fedora is only allowed to contain references or symlinks to the contents of a font (sub)package containing the font files they use -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
