Description Nicolas Mailhot 2007-11-01 10:54:23 UTC

Spec URL: http://nim.fedorapeople.org/stix-fonts.spec
SRPM URL: http://nim.fedorapeople.org/stix-fonts-0.9-2.fc9.src.rpm

Description: 

The mission of the Scientific and Technical Information Exchange (STIX) font
creation project is the preparation of a comprehensive set of fonts that serve
the scientific and engineering community in the process from manuscript
creation through final publication, both in electronic and print formats.

License needs approval by legal, but looks legit

This is a major font project that took years to complete (timeline starts in 1995) and has just been released.

Upstream beta period when fixes can be identified ends on december 15, so Fedora diffusion is needed quickly so our users can report problems while there is time

Comment 1 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-11-01 11:53:37 UTC

http://nim.fedorapeople.org/stix-fonts.spec

So fix the version and those should be fine.

"additional" is misspelled a few times.

fontconfig should be used to backfill the glyphs from higher codepoints to lower
(not a blocker).

Comment 3 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-11-01 13:48:26 UTC

> stix-fonts-integrals.noarch: W: invalid-license STIX License
→ LEGAL

> stix-fonts-variants.noarch: W: no-version-in-last-changelog
→ bogus warning, our guidelines authorize putting version inside the changelog
entry freetext (3rd format in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Changelogs), so rpmlint is wrong

> "additional" is misspelled a few times.
will fix

> fontconfig should be used to backfill the glyphs from higher codepoints to
lower (not a blocker).

will do fontconfig magic whenever I can corner someone who knows the exact
fontconfig syntax to use

Comment 4 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-11-01 13:58:29 UTC

Ok, new version fixing additional, and using the short license ID spot just
added to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/Fonts/Good

http://nim.fedorapeople.org/stix-fonts.spec
http://nim.fedorapeople.org/stix-fonts-0.9-4.fc9.src.rpm

Should be good now I think

Comment 5 Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 2007-11-01 14:16:43 UTC

Approved.

All set and pushed to F8 updates and devel

Comment 9 Rex Dieter 2007-11-02 14:10:08 UTC

No F-7 builds?

Comment 10 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-11-02 14:34:37 UTC

I suppose I could do F-7 when the dust settles a bit, but it's not my priority
right now

Comment 11 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-11-02 14:40:58 UTC

I'm a bit swamped in Fonts SIG work right now

Comment 12 Rex Dieter 2007-11-02 14:43:07 UTC

Please do, we're on a F-7 deployment @ work, and would love to start
using/testing these asap.

Comment 13 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-11-02 14:49:07 UTC

Understood, but it requires checking if F-7 fontconfig understands the same
syntax as f-8 fontconfig, so it's not that simple

Comment 14 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-11-02 18:57:13 UTC

Ok, it seems F7 and F8 fontconfig are compatible, which makes demand for an F7
version easier
