It can also be used to view ISCII encoded Bangla Text without converting to Unicode. Fedora Account System Username: mitradranirban I am the original developer of the font at http://github.com/mitradranirban/fonts-fbf-beng I am a new contributor and would require sponsor
I just had a look at upstream source. It appears upstream is collection of 2 fonts Ani and MitraMono fonts. As same tarball is used for creating 2 packages, I suggest do not create 2 packages. I suggest name the package as fbf-beng-fonts and generate 2 subpackages fbf-ani-fonts and fbf-mitra-mono-fonts. You can update this bug and close the other one bug2051879 Let me know if you have any questions on this.
As this package's upstream hosting is not simpler and clear, it becomes difficult to decide font package naming. I thought more on this and consulted someone also in our team. Do you have plan to develop and provide Mitra Sans and Mitra Serif in future? if yes then we should name fbf-mitra-mono-fonts, if not then just name it fbf-mitra-fonts. There is another thought now try to create fbf-fonts srpm and generate fbf-ani-fonts and fbf-mitra-mono-fonts. if that kind of packaging is not possible then you can think to host those fonts differently and then have these 2 submissions.
fbf-beng-fonts should consist of all fonts created by our volunteers in Free / Mukta Bangla Font Project https://www.nongnu.org/freebangfont which includes Aakash, Likhan, Jamrul. Haritaki, Ani Mitra and also Mukti ( which was, by the way, was default Bengali font in Fedora as its earlier avatar MuktiNarrow, before Lohit was created by RedHat). The CVS repository of the project is currently mirrored in https://github.com/mitradranirban/freebangfont It other developers of the group permit, I have plan to make Fedora packages of the other fonts as well as well as upgrade them , as they are Open Source (GPLed), in that case fbf-beng-fonts can act as a meta-package of all our fonts including fbf-font-mukti, which was our best offering due to professional quality glyphs. If Fedora-font-SIG allows adding members to the fbf-beng-fonts later we can go forward on this. I have no plan to create mitra sans or mitra serif. As indicated in the changelog, mitra was made as a monospace font for special requirement, I later changed the name to mitramono to avoid confusion with a non-free nastaliq font by Monotype corporation of the same name. Now you suggest what is the way to go forward. Presently Debian ships Mukti, Ani, MitraMono, Likhan and Jamrul font as their package fonts-beng-extra. However after exclusion of MuktiNarrow from Fedora due to absence of Font exception issue in 2005, none of the Free-Bangla_font products are in Fedora.

This is an automatic check from review-stats script. This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the NEEDINFO flag. You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

I am still interested in packaging this font in case it is passed by review by a reviewer
