I hope you'll find the process smooth and friendly, please do not hesitate to tell us what could be made better if something bugs you. Anyway, for the review 1. we use oflb as prefix for openfontlibrary fonts 2. the author claims he created this font in fontforge, so it'd be a good idea to beg for the sfd file upstream and build the font from source in the rpm 3. there is no licensing trace in the ttf file, and web pages are unfortunately not future proof. Please ask upstream to release the font in a zip file that includes a detached .txt licensing file (or at least use the fontforge button that embeds the OFL text in the .ttf) 4. IMHO this font should be classified as "fantasy" not "monospace" (see fontconfig-generics.txt in fontpackages-devel) 5. Why do you reference Droid Sans Mono in your fontconfig file? If that's because you cut and pasted from the Droid file, you have clean and documented fontconfig templates in fontpackages-devel (in /usr/share/fontconfig/templates/). The lastest rawhide version is probably the best reference for anything ≥ F11 (I'll probably push it to F11 if I stop finding things to improve every other week) 6. IMHO it is wrong to alias Chalkboard or Comic Sans MS if you're not sure Smonohand is very close both in looks and metrics. The reason being looks only are not sufficient, if the letters are different sizes documents written will one of the other fonts will end up repaginated with smonohand. Usually when we alias a font is much closer than just 'looks like it' 7. 65 is probably too high a prio for a fantasy latin font, 63-64 should be fine (see fontconfig-priorities.txt) For a first try this is a nice package, you just need to spend some time reading the little documentation we have in fontpackages-devel and you'll be fine.

These should go in a "console" subpackage as it has only console fonts in it dropping this subpackage and will have bitmap-console-fonts subpackage > > 6. why do you add a Requires(pre): fontconfig ? We do not require fontconfig in > font packages. Do you have a special need? > > 7. what do you need xorg-x11-font-utils as BR for ? > > 8. I think you can specify a different LICENSE field per subpackage, can you > check with spot how he'd prefer the licensing reported ? (mixed licensing > packages are a PITA) I feel if it'd be better if each subpackage was tagged > with just the necessary license info (and included the corresponding license > files) > can you guide me little bit about what is exact LICENSES of fangsongati, just test is give but not mention which GPL version etc. > 9. fontconfig will happily use pcf.gz files, please compress your pcf files (if > you're feeling ambitious ask behdad if he intends to support pcf.xz soon) > > That's all for this first partial review, will look more in depth tomorrow ok, so fontdir will contain pcf.gz file, looks ok thanks for first review as we are targeting this for f13 we have some time now :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The prio seems okay? I'm not sure if its a sans-serif or a fantasy, since I can't decide if this font can be used for long professional texts. It's the Devanagari script, so could be used. regards, Ankur -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
