Description Nicolas Mailhot 2008-12-20 17:13:38 UTC 
After more than a month of consultation,
feedback and tweaking new font packaging guidelines have been approved
by FESCO.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation_(2008-11-18)

Package maintainers must now convert their packages in rawhide to the new templates.

The following packages have already been converted in rawhide and can
serve as examples if the templates published in the fontpackages-devel package are not clear enough:

❄ andika-fonts
❄ apanov-heuristica-fonts
❄ bitstream-vera-fonts
❄ charis-fonts
❄ dejavu-fonts
❄ ecolier-court-fonts
❄ edrip-fonts
❄ gfs-ambrosia-fonts
❄ gfs-artemisia-fonts
❄ gfs-baskerville-fonts
❄ gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts
❄ gfs-bodoni-fonts
❄ gfs-complutum-fonts
❄ gfs-didot-classic-fonts
❄ gfs-didot-fonts
❄ gfs-eustace-fonts
❄ gfs-fleischman-fonts
❄ gfs-garaldus-fonts
❄ gfs-gazis-fonts
❄ gfs-jackson-fonts
❄ gfs-neohellenic-fonts
❄ gfs-nicefore-fonts
❄ gfs-olga-fonts
❄ gfs-porson-fonts
❄ gfs-solomos-fonts
❄ gfs-theokritos-fonts
❄ stix-fonts
❄ yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts

FPC and FESCO were not consulted on splitting or renaming packages, nevertheless the new templates make it fare easier to manage subpackages, so you're strongly encouraged to split your packages along font family lines.

A mandatory rule about splitting will probably be submitted for approval before the F11 release.

Further information on fonts packaging changes will be published on fedora-fonts-bugs-list at redhat.com
Comment 1 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-01-11 15:19:08 UTC 
To help packagers manage the transition to the new guidelines, we've published the following FAQ

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-01-14 18:36:35 UTC 
FPC approved those two additional guidelines recently, please take them into account if you need to create or update a fonts package or subpackage:

(packagers that can drop font files and just depend on an existing font package are not impacted)
