Sure TeX will fully go OpenType some day, but not now. XeTeX and LUATeX are not exactly mainstream. > You need to convert the fonts you care about to OpenType.

It's a matter of choice and freedom, and that is what this pango update is cutting down. Let people use both type1 and opentype, it's as simple as that. For the record: Downgrading to pango-1.43.0-4.fc31 restores my Fedora to a system which gives me the freedom to use both type1 and opentype fonts. -- 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]
