<br>
now that we have the croscore fonts available in Debian, too, I really<br>
wonder what we need liberation v2 fonts for? I mean, are they anything<br>
more than a rebranded version of the croscore fonts? And if yes, what<br>
benefit do they bring over just using the croscore fonts?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Good question.<br></div><div><br></div><div>1. Croscore Vs Liberation 1.07.3: Hinting bytecode is not same and that is what the reason we reverted forked version of Liberation2 in Fedora from Libreation2 to Liberation1.<br>
<br></div><div>2. Croscore Vs Liberation 2: Yes. Liberation2 has more improvements than Croscore version which we forked earlier. If you see Changelog [a] Visible one is support for Serbian glyphs support. Other bugs fixes are<br>
<br>Resolved "Glyphs with multiple unicode encodings inhibit subsetting" #851790 and some other bug fixes #851791, #854601 and #851825<br><br>I am on the way to improve "l" shape before the next release so it will be less confusing in small sizes. [b]<br>
<br></div><div>In the long term i would like to improve hinting instructions of Liberation2 so it can match with liberation 1.07.3 and we will not required to maintain two different versions. But i am not sure how much efforts required in this. Some contribution will definitely help.<br>

<br>
Or asked differently: Shouldn't we just decide to abandon the liberation<br>
fonts and ship croscore fonts instead? Or what would we be missing then?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>As written above is the difference. <br><br></div><div>Regards,<br>Pravin Satpute<br></div><div><br><br><div>a. <a href="https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/liberation-fonts.git/tree/ChangeLog">https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/liberation-fonts.git/tree/ChangeLog</a><br>
