Maintainer searched

Hey,

in the absence of time and motivation I'm searching for new maintainers
for my font packages. Actually I didn't update them for a while and I
think they are in better hands with someone else.

It's the following packages:
- hartke-aurulent-sans-fonts [1]
- vollkorn-fonts [2]
- yanone-tagesschrift-fonts [3]

If someone's interested please reply to this message or ask for acess in
pkgdb.

regards,
Paul

should we install google croscore font as a default in fedora 18?

Hi all,
  The updated package google-croscore-fonts-1.21.0-3.fc17 is now
pushed to stable. I have done some comparison of Liberation vs
Croscore fonts. See
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Liberation_vs_Croscore_fonts
  Currently, I have marked google-croscore-fonts as a optional package
in comps-f18. Considering it has got more orthography support compared
to Liberation font can we install it default? But, I would also say
that we have active development for Liberation font and if a bug comes
for Liberation font we can fix it. I am not sure how a bug can be
fixed for google croscore font. I can't find upstream URL as well as a
way to fix any upcoming bugs and get its fix upstream. We can fix them
in Fedora only.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Parag.

Hi,
   I suppose no reply mean everyone is happy with Liberation fonts as
a default install package.

Thanks & Regards,
Parag.

I guess you better ask on devel list as well because everyone doesn't necessarily subscribe this list.

I will ask the Google team who manage the croscore fonts (which are
commissioned from Monotype) about getting better public points of
contacts for these fonts.

I know the croscore fonts have improvements from Monotype over
Liberation, and a much better licence situation :) So I thin it would
be good to make them default - if patches can be taken upstream.

That would be great !

(but please don't add the 2.0 to the name)

Re: Liberation 2.0 font development plan based on croscore, fonts.

Hi,

It's Great idea!!! I like it very much!
I'm from Bulgaria and I use cyrillic alphabet (azbuka;-)). There is more natural italic cyrrillic shapes in croscore fonts and they have old cyrillic letters like 'big yus' and 'yat', that are not in use now, but were in use before 1945.
