Summary: xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic is not exposed correctly
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: low
Component: xorg-x11-fonts
AssignedTo: xgl-maint(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net
QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
Description of problem:
1. xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic contains fonts in a modern TTF/OTF format. Those
fonts need to be exposed in /usr/share/fonts and not /usr/share/X11/fonts for
more apps to take advantage of them
2. the package contains two versions of the same font (in OTF and TTF format).
This is likely to confuse apps so either drop one or make two separate
conflicting packages so they're never installed at the same time on the same
system. The OTF file appears to be the most complete one based on its size so
I'd drop the TTF one (true all our apps do not support OTF fonts yet but they
are becoming common enough apps should be fixed and TTf versions needn't be
provided as workaround)
3. The package only contains the Goha-Tibeb Zemen font. It would be more
user-friendly if it was renamed goha-tibeb-zemen-fonts
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic-7.2-6.fc9
