--- Comment #11 from David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] <dkaspar(a)redhat.com> ---
(In reply to Nicolas Mailhot from comment #9)
Note however that Appstream for fonts was heavily influenced by
Debian, and
Debian didn't rebase its font packaging around fontconfig as Fedora did a
few years ago, so a lot of the "Need to do foo in appstream because
fontconfig is insufficient or fonts are broken" do not really apply for
Fedora.
If the font metadata is bad for example Fedora would prefer the packager to
fix the font and patch the metadata rather than hide the brokenness under an
Appstream overlay (which won't exist for apps that use the fonts anyway).
I see. :) Well, I hope the AppStream and fontconfig metadata are mostly OK for
the moment - at least for the urw-base35-fonts. I've spent a lot of time to get
it right.
(Currently, there was a small issue with typo in AppStream metadata that has a
pull-request waiting for acceptance, and small issue with Standard Symbols PS
being to big when used for LGC fonts.)
