Description Nicolas Mailhot 2008-03-11 21:47:48 UTC
Spec URL: http://nim.fedorapeople.org/xgridfit.spec
SRPM URL: http://nim.fedorapeople.org/xgridfit-1.5-1.fc9.src.rpm

Description: 

Xgridfit is a high-level, XML-based language for gridfitting, or "hinting",
fonts. The Xgridfit program compiles an XML source file into tables and
instructions that relate to the gridfitting of glyphs. Xgridfit does not
insert these elements into a font itself, but rather relies on FontForge, the
Open-Source font editor, to do so.

Xgridfit is used in the build stage of some FLOSS fonts, and as such is required to get them packaged Fedora-side, since we build them from source

Comment 1 Nicolas Mailhot 2008-03-11 21:49:31 UTC
xgridfit is just a bunch of shell files and xslt filter files, and as such
should be easy to review

Comment 2 Parag AN(पराग) 2008-03-12 03:26:45 UTC
I don't think this package contains a lot of documentation to have separate -doc
subpackage. Can you merge -doc to main package?

Are you sure? The documentation is still half the package size, and the debian
maintainer chose to split it too IIRC

Otherwise, un-splitting is dead easy as you know
