It is optional > upstream[1]'s project name is "Terminus Font - a clean > fixed width font", I don't see a special "fontfamilyname", Font family name is nothing special that's how your font calls itself in GUI font lists. You can't have a font file without a familyname or apps would not know how to refer to it. > so my package would > need to be called "terminus-font-fonts"? "When foundryname, projectname or fontfamilyname contain the font or fonts affix, this affix should be dropped from them" Don't panic and just read attentively http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Clarifications you'll see this kind of case is covered > Changing from old "terminus-font" to "terminus-fonts" with a trailing s could > sound better and be less redundant and confusing. > > Presuming I have eventually worked out the proper name to call the SRPM, I > will > call the package containing the X11 font files the same, after the > [foundryname-]projectname[-fontfamilyname]-fonts naming scheme. This is ok > But what happens with the console fonts? Console fonts can't be processed by fontconfig so they're not a "font" covered by the guidelines and you can name the subpackage that contains them whatever you want, as long as it's not some form of foo-fonts -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
