That's a big "hopefully" there. As things are right this moment, the fonts are definitely not good. I have doubt that the fonts are all the useful as a starting point, but hey, if you wish to work on them you're free to do so. > Yes, all SIL fonts ought to be in Fedora :-) Some of them are kind of redundant. One of the three big fonts for the Latin alphabet is lacking italic and bold, so I wouldn't bother with that one. Going in the opposite direction from accessibility, the XO is lacking decorative fonts. Consider the fonts normally used for diplomas, wedding invitations, etc. > Sorry, I'm not clear what the issue with GPLv3 is here? :-) I didn't mention that, but I see the issue. Fonts get embedded into PDF documents. You might want to use a Creative Commons license for your work, but the GPL font prohibits that. The GPL font may even be incompatible with non-GPL fonts in the same document. _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
