Review Request: cwtex-q-fonts - a series of modern traditional Chinese fonts
by Cheng-Chia Tseng 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Hi everyone, I am interested in fonts/typography and learning rpm packaging recently. I found a series of free traditional Chinese fonts released under GPLv2+ license are not included in fedora repo yet, and decided to contribute myself. I have filed a bug report[1] for my first font package, cwtex-q-fonts, and been waiting for a sponsor. I would like to contribute as the maintainer of cwtex-q-fonts package in the future too. Please help me walk through the process and tell me what to improve for the package. ;) I will appreciate that! I have successfully built the package on koji. [2] Thanks, 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1094015 2. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6811265

about the rename of nhn-* to naver-*
by Daiki Ueno 21 May '14

21 May '14

Hi, I heard from the Debian package maintainer of nhn-nanum-fonts that the font publisher has been split into several companies and the responsible entity of the font is now known as Naver Corporation (one of their group companies)[1]. As we used the previous company name as the foundry, I filed a rename review[2]. However, since nhn-nanum-fonts is the default Korean font, if we rename it, we will also need to modify comps, anaconda, etc. So, I'd rather not like to change the package name, if possible. Is it okay for this case? Suggestions would be appreciated. -- Daiki Ueno Footnotes: [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1096418 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1096418

Hi, After polling on Fedora Chinese mailing list, I changed the default Simplified Chinese fonts of Fedora 21 to WenQuanYi Micro Hei. This change will give better rendering results on Full HD screen. The changes are landed on Fedora 21 comps. Feel free to comment it. Thanks, Peng Wu
