Description Parag Nemade 2010-05-26 05:17:04 UTC
Spec URL: http://paragn.fedorapeople.org/fedora-work/SPECS/cardo-fonts.spec
SRPM URL: http://paragn.fedorapeople.org/fedora-work/SRPMS/cardo-fonts-0.098-1.fc13.src.rpm
Description: 
Cardo is a large Unicode font specifically designed for the needs of
classicists, Biblical scholars, medievalists, and linguists.  Since it may be
used to prepare materials for publication, it also contains features that are
required for high-quality typography, such as ligatures, text figures (also
known as old style numerals), true small capitals and a variety of punctuation
and space characters.  It may also be used to document and discuss the features
of Unicode that are applicable to the these disciplines, as we work to help
colleagues understand the value (and limitations) of Unicode.
This font has been revived in modern times under several names (Bembo, Aetna,
Aldine 401).

Comment 2 Daiki Ueno 2010-05-26 08:39:09 UTC
I couldn't find any issue with the package, except the documentation:

 Summary: This is designed for classicists, Biblical scholars, medievalist
s, linguists

Could you make them clear, so that users can easily find out this package is a
font?  How about:

 Summary: A font for scholarly use in classical and medieval languages

(from the description embedded in *.ttf)

BTW, according to fontmatrix, the "Unicode Ranges" seems not correct.  I don't think this will be a problem though.
