font proposal for new installation
by Bill Nottingham
The new installation interface in Fedora 18:
- doesn't offer individual package selection
- includes infrastructure groups like a fonts group implicitly as
part of a desktop environment choice
I have the following proposed group to use for that fonts group:
<group>
<id>basic-fonts</id>
<_name>Core set of fonts</_name>
<_description>Core fonts for all covered scripts</_description>
<default>false</default>
<uservisible>false</uservisible>
<packagelist>
<packagereq>cjkuni-uming-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>dejavu-sans-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>dejavu-sans-mono-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>dejavu-serif-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>jomolhari-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>khmeros-base-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>liberation-mono-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>liberation-sans-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>liberation-serif-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lklug-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-assamese-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-bengali-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-devanagari-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-gujarati-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-kannada-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-malayalam-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-marathi-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-nepali-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-oriya-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-punjabi-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-tamil-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>lohit-telugu-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>madan-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>nhn-nanum-gothic-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>paktype-naqsh-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>paratype-pt-sans-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>sil-abyssinica-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>sil-padauk-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>smc-meera-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>stix-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>thai-scalable-waree-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>vlgothic-fonts</packagereq>
<packagereq>wqy-zenhei-fonts</packagereq>
</packagelist>
</group>
Would the fonts SIG prefer:
- that this be used for the 'fonts' group?
- that it remain a separate group?
Thanks,
Bill

missing in comps
by Akira TAGOH
Hi,
The following fonts packages seems not in @fonts nor @legacy-fonts in comps. does anyone know any reason why it's not there? as it's described at wiki[1], the fonts packages has to be in @fonts or @legacy-fonts at least. so if there are any particular reasons, I'll update comps with it later.

another proposal to correct @fonts and @legacy-fonts
by Akira TAGOH
Hi,
This is another proposal to correct @fonts and @legacy-fonts group in comps:
ctan-cm-lgc-roman-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
ctan-cm-lgc-sans-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
ctan-cm-lgc-typewriter-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
ctan-kerkis-calligraphic-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
ctan-kerkis-sans-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
ctan-kerkis-serif-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
larabie-decorative-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
larabie-straight-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
larabie-uncommon-fonts: ->@legacy-fonts ?
culmus-david-clm-fonts: ->@fonts ?
culmus-frank-ruehl-clm-fonts: ->@fonts ?
culmus-hadasim-clm-fonts: ->@fonts ?
culmus-keteryg-fonts: ->@fonts ?
culmus-miriam-clm-fonts: ->@fonts ?
culmus-miriam-mono-clm-fonts: ->@fonts ?
culmus-simple-clm-fonts: ->@fonts ?
culmus-stamashkenaz-clm-fonts: ->@fonts ?
culmus-stamsefarad-clm-fonts: ->@fonts ?
lyx-fonts: ->@fonts ?
oflb-dignas-handwriting-fonts: ->@fonts ?
TTF/OTF format fonts in @legacy-fonts may be less activities in upstream. otherwise maybe good to move them into @fonts.
Cheers,

Fonts Packaging
by Sourav Basu
Hello,
I wanted to start contributing to the Fedora project by starting to package fonts as I heard its the best and easiest way to start. But there's too much of documentation that gets confusing. I don't know which commands to use and how to build. Can you help me out please?
Thanks,

Required suggestions for adding Latin characters into Lohit fonts
by Pravin Satpute
Hi All,
Lohit fonts are facing following problems due to unavailability of
Basic Latin characters
1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=834368#c0
2. While using Lohit as a Web font if browser does not fallback to
default Latin font it shows as a square box.
3. If default selected font in fallback not matching with Lohit style,
then it does not give pleasing rendering effect.
To avoid these problem planning to add Basic Latin support in all
Lohit fonts. Need your recommendation for which font we can go for now.
1. It should match with Lohit style
2. License should be compatible with Lohit.
If one interested in contributing new designed shape specifically
matching with Lohit, that will be even great.
One options from my side is adding Liberation Sans shape into it. Both
are licensed under OFL.
