I am planning to have same fonts name, so one can simply install other
packages and replace the existing one.

I liked the idea. With this case we can have both fonts installed same time
on the system.

Liberation fonts plan
by pravin.d.s@gmail.com
Hi All,
Presently as you know, we have liberation-2 and liberation 1.07.4. i am
maintaining both in single git repo. [1]
I am thinking to create different project for liberation2, reasons as
follows
- liberation 2 - It initially forked from google-croscore-fonts and now
independent development is happening.
- liberation 1 - Though shapes are same, liberation 1 has bytecode
hinting instruction, many users like it.
- Problem: Few users want to use liberation 1 and few users want to use
liberation 2.
- Having different project for both will help for independant
development and also users can switch as per interest.
- One can obsolete to other.
- In Fedora we will have both packages liberation2-fonts and
liberation-fonts
Let me know - feedback and suggestions. Copr for liberation2 [2]
Background information on Wiki. [3]
Thanks,
Pravin
