Hi Sourav, There are specific guidelines for font packaging here in the font packaging lifecycle[1]. Have you looked at these yet? I suggest you look at a simple font that is already in Fedora and understand the spec. You can then try to write your spec in a similar manner. Please do ensure you've read the "how to create an rpm" page on the wiki[2]. This contains essential information on the spec file. The "how to package a hello world" wiki page is another page you *must* go through. Quite a few of us are around on the #fedora/#fedora-india/#fedora-devel IRC channels. If you run into issues, you can always ask for help there. Here's how to get started with the IRC[4] [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_a_GNU_Hello_RPM_package [4] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRCHowTo -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.
