Dear Fedora Maintainers, A new version of DejaVu has been released yesterday, please consider upgrading the Fedora package to 2.36: https://sourceforge.net/p/dejavu/mailman/message/35221644/ Note that in particular it includes a new math font. PS: I also sent an email on https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/ZKEFAPY7Y7PDK3SQVPEKRXBTF3RYWYJ4/ but without any replies so far. The new fonts are now already in Debian and Ubuntu.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
I won't have access to a complete computer before mid august, but anyway 2.36 should be skipped, due to mistakes in publishing 2.36 upstream is preparing a new fixed release

Indeed, I'm changing the title to upgrade to 2.37
It would be cool if the new math font could be split into a subpackage. It will be Recommended (or Required, if live CD generation doesn't respect Recommends yet) by WebKit for MathML support, but we probably don't want WebKit to require all of DejaVu.

Just for the record, many people prefer the Latin Modern Math style. Unfortunately, that font is currently only distributed in Fedora with TeXLive and is even not available system-wide by default so that make thing inconvenient [1]. In March I created a request on the Fedora Wiki [2]. Also, the STIX font is already installed by default on Fedora and could in theory be used for math rendering but the current release has too many bugs and version 2.0 keeps being delayed [3].

I've packaged 2.37, adding a math font subpackage as Michael Catanzaro suggested, and fixing a typo in the 2.35 spec file that made sans mono use the sans metainfo, and serif use the sans mono metainfo. The 2.37 package is available at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hdfssk/dejavu-fonts/ I've followed the fedora font packaging guidelines (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy) as far as I understand them, and would be glad to give the package maintainer any info needed to get this into updates.
*** Bug 1417250 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
