Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2020-12-18 02:47:07 UTC

Hi! From the wikipedia page, today I learned that the Linux Libertine (and companion "Biolinum") font has been unmaintained for many years, and that since then the project has been forked and maintained with hundreds of bugfixes and many new releases, under the new name "Libertinus". It can be found here: https://github.com/alerque/libertinus

Since it is the same font but improved and with different names, could you please package it for Fedora? I'd really love to use it without needing to manually download it (and remember doing so) regularly.

Since they have different family names, they should be packaged as a different package in theory. reassigning to Fonts component so far.

Also, just FYI if anyone else are keen to volunteer packaging this, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle might helps to make some progress on this.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle.
Changing version to 34.

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2022-12-12 06:33:27 UTC

Moving to distribution for wider visibility - anyone could pick up and contribute this font package to Fedora.

Already in progress, See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2149626
