Hi folks,
I just added a bunch of fonts to the font sig wishlist [1]. These are fonts
that I thought were pretty high-quality from an artistic POV from the list
of fonts [2] that I put together a couple of months back. I would love to
see some of these in F9 for the Art Studio spin.
I updated the spreadsheet [3] there, coloring fonts that are already in
Fedora blue, ones that are proposed on the wishlist green, and those with
an unacceptable license in grey.
I may go through some of the links at the top of the wishlist page and see
if I can find more suitably-licensed fonts; If I do I will update the list
below.
Anyhow, here's the list that I just added:
mgopen canonica
mgopen cosmetica
mgopen modata
mgopen moderna
As you saw already, these are packaged as mgopen-fonts. The mgopen
project, however, does not seem to be making any progress beyond the
first release of the fonts.
GFS Didot
GFS Bodoni
GFS Neohellenic
GFS Artemisia
GFS Theokritos
GFS Olga
GFS Didot Classic
GFS Porson
GFS Baskerville
GFS Bodoni Classic
GFS Gazis
GFS Solomos
GFS Porson
GFS Complutum
I plan to package the above some time if noone beats me to it. When the
tetex->TeXLive dust settles, I plan to also package the TeX-related
bindings.
Kerkis
There is a Kerkis package for TeX (tetex-font-kerkis). Nowadays, the
author of this font publishes TTF and OTF files, quite suitable for
on-screen display. The license, however, is a bit ambiguous, possibly
even a removal candidate.
http://iris.math.aegean.gr/kerkis/ (see the
License subsection).
A side question: Does anyone have experience about packaging the same
font both for X11 and TeX? Do I need to include the same font files
twice? Create soft/hard links for efficiency? Require one (X11) for
the other (TeX)?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
