Summary: A bit over-enthusiastic splitting
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium
         Component: un-core-fonts

            Blocks: 438944
    Classification: Fedora

While splitting font packages is generally good, separating regular and bold
faces of the same font in different packages is a tad over the top.

Please keep batang and batang bold in the same package (reiterate for other un
core fonts)

(at the same time, it's awesome you've managed to package a beast like the un
fonts given all the problems you had to solve)

Do you think we should make an exception for dotum though since it will pull in
another 2.5MB for all users?

4.6M  un-core-fonts-dotum-1.0.2-0.6.080608.fc10.noarch.rpm
2.5M  un-core-fonts-dotumbold-1.0.2-0.6.080608.fc10.noarch.rpm

I don't like exceptions much, you end up removing them later generally. And I
tend to believe that anyone who's actually interested in dotum will want the
bold too.

I suppose dotum is a special case because want to install korean support for
everyone by default, even for people who didn't ask for it (but is it really ok
to provide korean without bold when we have it available?). If we're that short
of space for F10 you can make it an exception, but IMHO it will end up in the
default install set in a few releases anyway.

BTW if the problem is that the current macros used in this package want to take
a single font file as argument, then the subpackaging macro I wrote in dejavu
yesterday could be used instead.

I must admit I was thinking very hard about the un font packages when I wrote
them.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10
development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Actually it is worse that that since currently the main packages also contain
the bold (and light) fonts...
