Re: The goose OpenType eggs holds...
I suspect the person that did the work used his employers' (very) non-free software to do the job, and said person is probably at risk of getting fired if found out. But who says we cannot use the result if it is GPL'd. Furthermore, the modification dates of the files inside the archive indicates that this happened 5 years ago, so it may be really hard to trace who did it. Also, in my enthusiasm I omitted the fact that these fonts are based on the ghostscript 6.0 fonts, before Cyrillic glyphs were added. E.g., Nimbus Roman Regular's PS Core is version 1.05, not 1.06. The Cyrillic glyphs need to be merged in. Probably the cleanest thing to do is redo the conversion starting with the current version of gs-fonts (8.11). We can use the goose version as model for what the result should look like (kerning, ligatures etc.) Any experts here that can help with that?

AFAICT, they are well done: have kerning pairs (using the correct 'kern' feature for CFF files), has ligatures etc. They also fix the missing mappings for Romanian (no locl table yet...). The only troublesome point may that the author of the conversion seems to want to remain anonymous. The license of the fonts is still GPL. You need to trace this version to its ultimate source, talk with fedora-legal (or spot) and convince the current package maintainer to switch font sources -- Nicolas Mailhot ___ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list

Or the GNOME Foundation needn't have done the same with Bitstream for Vera. Experience shows it is very possible to extend a font with little coverage to more than decent one but it requires making a lot of noise around unfinished font cores with correct licensing to get someone interested. And you don't get there via traditionnal ivory tower isolated font designer workflow. i have yet to see one good, original, well-made typeface developed in the bazaar way. can you name one? also, please don't be ungrateful to the isolated ivory-tower designer workflow, since it has produced the best foss-fonts out there. i challenge the free open font crowd to promote free/open fonts on the basis of their typographic quality, without appealing to below- the-belt demonization of proprietary designers and proprietary tools. Teams was released in 2000 by TopTeam. It took 8 years before someone picked it up and started updating it (Edrip). Have Debian (and other distributions, sadly Fedora not included) wasted their time by publishing Teams for 8 years in its poor state? If they hadn't I strongly suspect Edrip would not have happened. We're seeding our future. Those things take time, a lot of time. And the future will happen faster if people stop putting their heads in the sand, wasting time on proprietary fonts or font tools, and get to work. During this year's LGM a concerted effort created a new nicely licensed font from an old fossilizing one in a few days. Just a few years ago this would have been complete science fiction. do you mean NotCourier Sans? i don't dislike the result, but let's be honest about it -- chopping off serifs from an existing font is not really type-design... cheers, - gustavo. -- Nicolas Mailhot signature.asc Description: Ceci est une partie de message numériquement signée ___ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
Fedora font inclusion timeline
Hi, For those interested by a little history, I've added a timeline in the wiki: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_inclusion_history Feel free to correct/complete it. As anyone can check until F9 we weren't very dynamic and spent our time renaming old packages.

Editing OpenType feature tables with fontforge is a big PITA. Adding
a locl table to Linux Libertine, see
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Tasks/Ro_fonts#Linux_Libertine],
took me three hours (testing included). And that just for the regular
font. Parts of the table are (or rather should be) common between
files, but fontforge doesn't support that, so I have to start over
for the bold and italic!
I guess you just need to be used to how FontForge handles OpenType? I
don't think it looks that hard to do. It used to be much harder as well
before George completely redid OpenType handling :-).
But true, you need to be familiar with lookup tables, while I guess you
just want to be able to select a glyph, and click some buttons saying:
I want feature locl for languages latn{ROM} and latn{MOL} and
substitute it with glyph X. And actually, it already works like that,
if you made the lookups and lookup subtables. It only makes sense to
put these together in tables like that. If you have a list of glyphs
you substitute in certain languages and suddenly think you need one
other language you don't have to change all previous lookups, just
change the language list in the data.
btw, there is a Copy lookup data entry in the FontForge edit menu
that could ease the pain having to redo everything for each font.
