We've missed upstream contact already as upstream URL has been commented out in the spec. no way of telling them to rename the font name either. "knm_new" is really upstream name and it should matches to the exception reason but just not to avoid the unnecessary work on existing packages. (In reply to comment #10) > BTW looking at the font files they declare a generic name (Fixed) which seems > not quite right to me. It will collide with other packages Sure. it was supposed to work an alternative of better "Fixed" font for Japanese support though. -- 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
