https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1036462 Bug ID: 1036462 Summary: Review Request: unifont - Tools and glyph descriptions in the unifont format Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: zbyszek@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: http://in.waw.pl/~zbyszek/fedora/unifont.spec SRPM URL: http://in.waw.pl/~zbyszek/fedora/unifont-6.3.20131020-1.fc20.src.rpm Description: Tools and glyph descriptions in the unifont format Fedora Account System Username: zbyszek Unifont is a Unicode font with a glyph for every visible Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane code point and more, with supporting utilities to modify the font. The latest version of Unifont includes approximately 54,700 glyphs for all the visible Unicode BMP code points. Of this, almost 28,000 glyphs are Chinese-Japanese-Korean (CJK) ideographs from Qianqian Fang's Wen Quan Yi bitmap font. >From this source package two binary packages are produced: unifont contains the tools and .hex sources, and unifont-fonts contains the .ttf font. Some history: unifont development stalled around 2003-2004, and unifont was superseded by wqy-unibit-fonts [1]. But later on unifont development resumed, and wqy-unibit-fonts manager supported the idea of additionally packaging unifont [2]. Recently unifont development has (again) resumed, and the project made the first release under GNU umbrella. I'd like to package unifont because of it's unique text-based format. It'll likely be used by systemd as an emergency font in initramfs/system-boot/rescue-shell conditions [3].
