Spec URL: https://alexpl.fedorapeople.org/packages/fonts/gdouros/gdouros-alexander-fonts/gdouros-alexander-fonts.spec SRPM URL: https://alexpl.fedorapeople.org/packages/fonts/gdouros/gdouros-alexander-fonts/gdouros-alexander-fonts-5.01-1.fc21.src.rpm Description: A text typeface using the Greek letters designed by Alexander Wilson (1714-1786), a Scottish doctor, astronomer, and type founder, who established a type foundry in Glasgow in 1744. The type was especially designed for an edition of Homer’s epics, published in 1756-8 by Andrew and Robert Foulis, printers to the University of Glasgow. A modern revival, Wilson Greek, was designed by Matthew Carter in 1995. Peter S. Baker is also using Wilson’s Greek type in his Junicode font for medieval scholars (2007). Latin and Cyrillic are based on a Garamond typeface. The font covers the Windows Glyph List, IPA Extensions, Greek Extended, Ancient Greek Numbers, Byzantine and Ancient Greek Musical Notation, various typographic extras and several Open Type features (Case-Sensitive Forms, Small Capitals, Subscript, Superscript, Numerators, Denominators, Fractions, Old Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures). It was created by George Douros. Fedora Account System Username: alexpl Koji scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9402802 The font is already in fedora, but the current maintainer has been non-responsive for quite some time, so this is the last step of the relevant policy - a takeover request. I have cleaned up the spec files from deprecated commands, added AppStream metadata and I have included a sample file provided by upstream in a separate doc package. Following a brief discussion on devel ML and after having contacted upstream for clarifications, I have decided not to include the hinted font in the source package. Upstream ships Alexander as part of the "TextFonts" package, a small collection of old-style, greek, serif typefaces. Perhaps we should package them all together going forward and obsolete gdouros-alexander-fonts by providing a gdouros-textfonts-fonts collective package.
