hi,
I'm a newbie packager.. I was trying to package this font.
http://www.tulrich.com/fonts/
The upstream tarball has otfs, ttfs and also sfd source. I enquired at
#fedora on the IRC and was advised to not use the ttf/otfs but build
from the sfd files. I dont know how to do this.. can anyone please
help??
Hi,
It's always nice to see new packagers on the list. Please take the time
to read
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle
and
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fonts_packaging
if you haven't done so yet.
As for building from sfds, you have a simple example there:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/inconsolata-fonts/inconsolata-f...
Bigger projects like Liberation or DejaVu automate sfd processing with a
makefile. If you are really interested in a font, it's a good idea to
read them and contribute the corresponding makefile to the upstream
project.
