Re: [Openfontlibrary] The Next Version of OFLB
2008/11/2 Ed Trager [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Default tags for upload pages- do we want more than: african, arabic, asian, cyrillic, fantasy, latin, monospace, sans_serif, script, serif, symbol Yes. I'm not sure what default tags for upload pages actually means, It means, there is a administratively declared set of recommended tags on http://openfontlibrary.fontly.org/submit/typeface which we ought to discuss here, and a machine generated set of popular tags. but I think the list of categories is not yet completely thought-out ... No, indeed. Ben just put a quick list there, and the list needs to discuss what should be there. One question I have is will it be possible to have multiple tags on one font, say if I want to upload an African sans-serif font? Sure! :-) For the geographic categories, I would have something much more along the lines of what I have got on http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/NewUnifontDesign2/ Would you translate these into the following tags? Scientific, Scholarly, Artistic, Pan Unicode, The Americas, Africa, Europe, Europa, Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia For the URL format, should it not be something more like the following instead?: http://openfontlibrary.org/people/benweiner/Puritan_Regular/2.0/Puritan_Regular-2.0.otf I added that to the wiki TODO page. ___ Openfontlibrary mailing list Openfontlibrary@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openfontlibrary

Cheers, Dave Wow, looks quite promising. Great work. The triple-verb is a very nice touch :-) A quick comment: I think the font-face path should include a version string to distinguish current/future versions/branches (maybe in name of the file itself).

Re: [Openfontlibrary] The Next Version of OFLB
Hi, Dave, I took only a quick look at the TODO wiki page you mentioned: Default tags for upload pages- do we want more than: african, arabic, asian, cyrillic, fantasy, latin, monospace, sans_serif, script, serif, symbol Yes. I'm not sure what default tags for upload pages actually means, but I think the list of categories is not yet completely thought-out ... One question I have is will it be possible to have multiple tags on one font, say if I want to upload an African sans-serif font? For the geographic categories, I would have something much more along the lines of what I have got on http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/NewUnifontDesign2/ (which, for those who haven't seen this yet, is an incomplete revision of my unifont.org font guide): * The Americas : Fonts for Indigenous American languages : Includes Latin, Cherokee, and Unified Canadian Syllabic orthography fonts. * African: Includes Latin and indigenous non-Latin orthography fonts. Since Arabic is used extensively in North Africa, a note alerts users that Arabic fonts are included in the Middle East section. * Middle East includes at least Arabic, Hebrew, and Syriac. * Europe has Latin, Latin Greek, LGC, Armenian, and Georgian sub-categories. * Central Asia has Tibetan, Uyghur (which is really an Arabic orthography), and Mongolian. It could also conceivably have a Cyrillic sub-category. * South Asia would be for the fonts covering the major orthographies of India. * Southeast Asia covers the many Indic-derived orthographies, as well as Latin-based orthographies such as Vietnamese * East Asia: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Yi. I won't elaborate on the style categories at this point -- those may also require more thought and additional categories. the file itself).
