Hi,
Hi Marcin,
I'm trying to convert my packages (jomolhari-fonts,
tibetan-machine-uni-fonts) to new font packaging guidelines.
Thank you for working on it!
I've encounter one problem that stops me from filling all
guidelines.
I don't know the right font family (serif, sans serif, other?) for both
fonts, so I can't create a fontconf files.
How can I find/known this font family (both fonts represents Tibetan
script which I don't know)?
The current fontconfig classification is very latin-oriented, that's
true. To decide on how the fonts should be best classified you need to
ask the locals. Check on
http://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages/
if there is a contact for those locales, and if not ask on the unicode
mailing list where many language experts can help you
http://unicode.org/mail-arch/
BTW. If both fonts are installed TMU is selected as a primary font
for
displaying Dzongkha text, is there a way to set fontconfig to prefer
Jomolhari when dealing with Dzongkha text and TMU when displaying
Tibetan text (Jomolhari is better for Dzongkha text and TMU for Tibetan
text).
There are various ways to put one font first for specific locales. The
current rather brutal way to do it is documented in
/usr/share/doc/fontpackages-devel-*/fontconfig-templates/l10n-font-template.*
It's not completely satisfactory, and Behdad is working on a new
fontconfig release, so don't hesitate to ask him directly (he's often in
the ##fonts irc channel as behdad)
Sincerely,
