Hi all,
I would like to package rubygem-prawn (PDF generator) [1, 2] for Fedora, but I am unsure
about the font files that are bundled in the .gem file.
There are many .afm font files which seem not to be considered as font
files according to the guidelines [3] as Miroslav in the review [2]
already pointed out. Is this true and is it then fine to package them
normally as any other files? Or is there a special approach of
bundling/packaging text-based font files like .afm?
Bundling would be the wrong connclusion to draw. nim should speak to this
but iirc, his position would be that the software should be converted to use
ttf and otf fonts instead of afm and the fonts, if needsed, should be
converted from afm to otf.
