I did get your email from a few days ago. Sorry for not replying sooner.

Simple fix: add this line to /etc/hosts

140.211.166.148 openfontlibrary.org www.openfontlibrary.org

and then visit openfontlibrary.org :)

We will bring across all the old fonts and set up 403 redirections,
and if you want to help with that you're welcome to.

Cheers
Dave

  Thanks for your reply. How long will this migration work take? I am
not sure if I can help you but if you have any particular steps to do
this migration, email me and I will try to help you. :)

What happens if a package includes non-free fonts already?

I have been investigating bug 536920, which is a crash in fontlint when
running against a font file included in poker3d-data.

This font file is neurpoli.ttf, which turns out to be one of the Larabie
fonts. Larabie fonts cannot be packaged because of the restrictions on
modification:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Bad_Licenses_4

I imagine that Nicholas raised this problem while doing his periodic
fonts-incorrectly-packaged-in-non-font-package checks. The request to
separate out the fonts from poker3d-data has been long since closed
WONTFIX:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477443

But actually, it seems that poker3d-data couldn't have this font separated
out anyway.

Should I be raising a bug against poker3d-data along the lines of "you
need to remove non-free font from package"?

My thought as a bugzapper is to re-open #477443 and set to the version
you found the bug in and set information request maintainer. Going by
# 477443 information only I see fast track non-responsive maintainer
in this bugs future.

I don't think I am able to reopen this bug, or I don't see how.

I have filed a new bug, 615347, blocking FE-Legal as requested.

Actually one of the main reasons for separating fonts in sub-packages
(apart from user convenience) is to force package maintainers to
investigate a little the licensing of the fonts they push in Fedora, and
identify legal problems (sadly, I think the majority of the fonts
identified this way had to be retired, either because of legal problems,
or because they were old buggy versions of fonts we already shipped in
other packages).

If someone want to look at the wontfixes that resulted from the initial
mass-bugzilla filling, I'm sure there are still problems lurking (I
don't really have the time or energy to do so right now).

Another way is just to point repo-font-audit (which is in
fontpackages-tools) to a public rawhide repo, and it will generate an
up-to-date report.

BTW
Thanks a lot for your current activity fonts-side Paul, it could not
come at a better moment
