[announce] bugzilla Fonts component
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

Hello, First I should apologize for not discussing this more widely earlier, but in the i18n subproject we recently suggested and requested that there should be a generic 'Fonts' component in bugzilla for Fedora since we often see various generic fonts bugs which take time to determine and resolve and would easily get lost in the broad 'distribution' component. See https://pagure.io/i18n/issue/124 and https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/9368 for more background. Currently i18n-bugs is the primary assignee and fonts-bugs is in auto-CC. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&component=Fonts… I think it can be used in two ways - primarily (long term) for distro wide fonts issues that are not bugs of a particular component (eg discussions on changing default fonts, etc) - possibly triaged from some font component, and secondly when users have no idea what component to file fonts issues under, which then would need to be triaged to a particular font package. I don't think we will see a huge number of bugs under this component but it should be useful for tracking longer term issues and problems. If this also helps to encourage Fonts SIG activity that would also be a good thing. Thanks, Jens

If I want to package and submit my font for consideration for inclusion by Fedora, can I do it? -Anir On Mon, 17 Jan 2022, 10:58 pm Tom Callaway, <spotrh(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Normally, this would be as simple as updating the font packages to use the > newer versions of the fonts, but I cannot see any font packages in Fedora > which include these fonts (Ani, Mitramono, MuktiNarrow). > > If these fonts are not packaged in Fedora (or if they were but have been > retired), new packages will need to be made and reviewed first.

How to include updated version of my fonts in Fedora
by Anirban Mitra 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

I am the developer of Open source OpenType fonts Ani, Mitramono, and MuktiNarrow. My fonts are part of Fedora/Redhat distribution since 2003. Since then I have upgraded my fonts and bugfixed them. However newer versions were not included in Fedora. The fonts are currently hosted in https://github.com/mitradranirban/fonts-fbf-beng and https://github.com/mitradranirban/fonts-mukti. How can the newer and better versions be a part of Fedora distribution?
