--- Comment #1 from David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] dkaspar@redhat.com --- Hello Zdenek,

could you please look at this new package? You might need additional FPG, because this is the fonts package. Here are the useful links related to fonts in Fedora:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts

Some of the policies were deliberately bypassed, because they either don't apply here, would make maintenance here harder or just does not make any sense in this case. The whole reasoning about how the package was created is written in the beginning of the specfile. Please, read it, if you can.

Here are the mailing list threads about this package I've started before: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/... ead/RUI5GH3LBSQTKBF6HDIW6RRC6CYOVZAT/#RUI5GH3LBSQTKBF6HDIW6RRC6CYOVZAT [Versioning Mess of previous 'urw-fonts' package]

------------------

One thing that is not mentioned there is Grouping: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Grouping https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@lists.fedoraproject.org/... ead/CEGLZXCXTHD7TMS7AQ5KQPPNT7NAXUBZ/

As I understand the wiki, the Grouping does not apply for these fonts, because they are not meant just for some languages, like e.g. DejaVu fonts for Cyrrilic writings.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. :)
