tomorrow's meeting
by Akira TAGOH 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Hi, We still have some active tickets[1][2] though, apparently no updates so far and it looks like nothing else we need to discuss. only things we might want to discuss is f19 feature though, I'm wondering if it's worth just pinging or asking for an idea for features in the meeting. So if there are no other topics we want to, I'll cancel tomorrow's meeting. for feature idea, please add your idea at the ticket[3] instead. Regards, -- Akira TAGOH 1 ... https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/8 2 ... https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/10 3 ... https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/9

Liberation 2.0 is definitely ready. If you see the coverage of Liberation 2.0 it is 4 times to Liberation 1. - *Latest Version - Older Version* - 2302 (sans) - 667 - 2274 (mono) - 666 - 2303 (serif) - 662 1. We have reverted this only because problem of *backward compatibility*with hinting output. It is sad actually for hinting results of 600 characters, we are not able to provides Fedora users 1800 additional characters. 2. Main goal of Liberation fonts is to providing compatibility fonts for Windows fonts Arial, Times New Roam and Courier. Presently coverage of these Windows fonts is huge. So just think if documents cover other characters than existing coverage of Liberation, and someone open same document in Fedora, will user get his intended layout? are we still achieving our main goal of providing compatibility fonts to users? problem is something different and we need to think on that. I will see if i can do something for Fedora 19. Regards, Pravin Satpute

Liberation 2.0 Vs Liberation 1.0 (Need comments)
by pravin.d.s＠gmail.com 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi All, As you know Liberation 2.0 is one of the feature of Fedora 18. Recent analysis and comparison with Liberation 1 it is more clear that final output of Liberation 2.0 is not as sharp as it was with Liberation 1.0. Though both are from same vendor (Ascender Corporation) hinting bytecodes are different. Liberation2 already available in Fedora18 Beta, if one wants to install both fonts simultaneously Download [1] has liberation ttf with different family name, so one can have both version same time on Fedora. (cp to /usr/share/fonts/liberation and then fc-cache) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=856239 , though bugzilla has more than 100 comments but if someone see to the attached screenshot will be sufficient for review. I did comparison of Fedora output with Windows7 as well. But on Windows results are totally different than Fedora. On Fedora 18 : http://pravins.fedorapeople.org/liberation/arial-sans2-sans1-arimo-testing2… (Here Sans2 = Liberation2 , San1 = Liberation1 and Arimo = Google Croscore) On Windows7 : http://pravins.fedorapeople.org/liberation/arial-sans2-sans1-arimo-testing2… On Fedora 18 : http://pravins.fedorapeople.org/liberation/arial-sans2-sans1-arimo-testing2… freetype-freeworld Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 *Xft.hintstyle: hintslight* Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault *Xft.rgba: rgb*) In last 4 comments Mike Fabian has given even more better screenshot showing hinting bytecode which actually affects final output. http://pravin-s.blogspot.in/2012/12/liberation-20-and-liberatoin-10.htmlhas some more images Problem is subjectivity of hinting output, each users has different opinion. So just thinking whether we should defer this feature and once Liberation2 output matches with Liberation1 then only we can go with this feature. Thanks & Regards, Pravin Satpute 1. http://pravins.fedorapeople.org/liberation-fonts-ttf-1-07-2.tar.gz Note: Cross posting to fonts@ , i18n@ and tests@ list for more feedback
