--- Comment #50 from Nicolas Mailhot <[email protected]> --- That is going to be a proposal but given I'm the one who wrote the previous version 12 years ago and I've been working on this refresh for 2 years now and no one else bothered to work seriously on the subject I'm not going to change it now. Anyone who objects can take up the thankless task of squaring font tech, font standards, font uses, and fedora app (mis)behaviours The depreciation of legacy formats, the depreciation of X11, the move to fontconfig and harfbuzz ng were already known and announced loud and clear when I wrote the previous version of the guidelines. (they were decided in the first Text Layout summit in 2006 https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/TextLayout/) > Font packages in a legacy format (not TTF or OTF) MUST be registered in the > legacy-font group https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy (old Fedora font packaging policy) Anyone interested in bitmap fonts had more than twelve years to work on an upgrade path. No one bothered, and waiting more means no one will bother some more. So now things will break. That's the ultimate result when depreciation warnings are not heeded. Don't tell me that 12 years (13 starting with the text layout summit) is to short a wait. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
