Hi all,
A major free/libre font project, STIX, did its first public release
yesterday. It's a huge work – the project timeline starts in 1995. The
result are engineering and scientific fonts: latin + greek + cyrillic +
a lot of technical glyphs, in serif.
The STIX fonts have been packaged and approved, and should be available
as Fedora 8 updates and in Fedora devel.

Everyone interested please test and report upstream
(
http://www.stixfonts.org/betafeedback.html). Upstream beta period ends
on december, 15 and it will be much harder to request fixes after this
date.
In other news a new OFL font has been requested by African users and
added to packaging wishes in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts/Triaging/Pipeline#wishes
Would-be packagers are demanded.
Regards,
