Packaging Hack - A typeface designed for source code
by Shawn Starr 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hello Font SIG, I've been in touch with Chris Simpkins about his Hack font, it looks really great for code and I use it for my konsole sessions. Aside from submitting a .spec for review, anyone want to provide comments? Or if someone is packaging this already? :) Link: https://github.com/chrissimpkins/Hack Thanks, Shawn

Improving fonts spec
by Luya Tshimbalanga 27 Mar '16

27 Mar '16

The current packaged template for fontpackages are out of date for the following reasons. - Use of obsolete "rm -fr %{buildroot} in %install inside fontpackages (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1271620) - Inclusion of appdata for fonts allowing ease of detection for Gnome Software or any appstream related applications. You can view an example on http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/julietaula-montserrat-fonts.git/tre… http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/gpick.git/tree/gpick.spec Here is a guideline for appdata on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AppData -- Luya Tshimbalanga Graphic & Web Designer E: luya(a)fedoraproject.org W: http://www.coolest-storm.net

27 Mar '16

Montserrat just arrived in Fedora and EPEL testing repositories. Please test them and give karma to make them available on stable repositories. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=julietaula-montserrat-fon… Montserrat is now the default typeface for headline and title for Fedora Project layout needed by Design Team. The wiki page[1] is moved to "packaged fonts" category with inclusion of koji and pkgdb pages.

Packaging Montserrat fonts
by Luya Tshimbalanga 24 Mar '16

Following the blog posted by Mizmo, I submitted Montserrat fonts for review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1321208 Montserrat[1] is now the official typeface for headlines and titles within Fedora Project replacing the venerable Comfortaa (still used for sublogos). It will be nice the review completed as soon as possible.

TeX Live OpenType fonts VS Fedora Technical Fonts
by Frédéric WANG 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Dear Fonts SIG, It was recently mentioned on the webkit-dev mailing list [1] that many TeX Live packages for OpenType fonts can not be installed on Fedora without also installing perl and texlive dependencies. Moreover, these TeX Live packages do not use fontconfig to expose the installed fonts to other applications like WebKit or Gecko browsers. Looking at the families that can be used for math layout, TeX Live has the following subpackages: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-asana-math https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-lm https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-stix https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-tex-gyre https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/texlive-xits But only two of them are listed on the Fonts SIG wiki and have independent packages: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/stix-fonts https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/oflb-asana-math-fonts I believe when version 2 of STIX is released [2] it will cover most (but Arabic/RTL) features of XITS. However, it still makes sense to provide packages for GUST math font families: Latin Modern (recommended for Gecko and WebKit), TeX Gyre Bonum, TeX Gyre Pagella, TeX Gyre Schola and TeX Gyre Termes. I would also add a recently released fork of Linux Libertine that be used for math layout but is not included in Fedora's TeX Live yet [3]. So would the Fonts SIG accept to have some packages for these fonts that are separate from TeX Live? I wanted to add them to your Font wishlist but for some reason I'm not able to log in to the Fedora Wiki (despite the fact that I can login to the FAS and signed the CLA). Thanks, Frédéric Wang PS: FYI, Debian also has individual packages for STIX and Asana Math ; and the dependency on TeX Live has recently been removed for Latin Modern and TeX Gyre fonts [4] [1] https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2016-March/028071.html [2] http://stixfonts.org/index.html [3] https://github.com/khaledhosny/libertinus [4] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fonts-devel/2016-March/017485.…
