Fedora Account System Username: pnemade


 This is a Rename request for the former package 'ht-caladea-fonts'

Comment 1 Parag Nemade 2023-02-03 03:37:01 UTC
This package built on koji:  https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=97029002

Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2023-02-03 04:42:17 UTC
New scratch build -> https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=97030911

Comment 3 Benson Muite 2023-02-05 07:46:14 UTC
This was available before https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1017766
Debian seems to package from GitHub
https://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-crosextra-caladea
A version is also available from Google fonts:
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Caladea
though OpenMandriva uses a similar spec:
https://github.com/OpenMandrivaAssociation/google-crosextra-caladea-fonts/blob/master/google-crosextra-caladea-fonts.spec

Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2023-02-05 10:43:46 UTC
(In reply to Benson Muite from comment #3)
> This was available before

I know, I was the owner. I think you missed to check that its retired package and to bring it back in Fedora, it needs package review again.

> Debian seems to package from GitHub
> https://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-crosextra-caladea
So does we also as ht-caladea-fonts in Fedora currently but as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2162532 , that font is not following correct metrics. So we need to fallback to older package.

> A version is also available from Google fonts:
> https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Caladea
> though OpenMandriva uses a similar spec:
> https://github.com/OpenMandrivaAssociation/google-crosextra-caladea-fonts/

This is the same spec that I wrote for Fedora packaging.

Comment 5 Parag Nemade 2023-02-06 00:35:37 UTC
Can this be reviewed quickly?

a) Please update version in changelog on import

Thank you.

Thanks for the fixes. Using FontForge:

Caladea - GitHub

Source info at https://github.com/huertatipografica/Caladea/blob/master/sources/ufo/Caladea-Regular.ufo/fontinfo.plist
has
Ascent: 778
Descent: -222
Em Size: 1000
Underline position: -89

This is not what is in the ttf files on GitHub.

So something has been changed when generating the newer ttf files. FontForge could be used to
regenerate ttf files:
https://fontforge.org/docs/tutorial/editexample7.html
Not sure if kerning information has been changed.

Updated https://github.com/huertatipografica/Caladea/issues/4

Still need python3-attrs to package fontmake https://github.com/googlefonts/fontmake which
maybe easier to use to generate ttf files

Comment 10 Parag Nemade 2023-02-07 12:00:04 UTC
Thank you for your detailed comment here.

Sometimes I feel though we promote building fonts from source files, it creates problems in Fedora as depending components gets updated at different times.
I experienced 1 or 2 times in the past that fontforge when updated in Fedora failed to generate font file where I patched that font's sfd file for some glyph fix. In other instance it simply failed to generate font using fontforge script.

Upstream for this font has not been responsive ever since they uploaded/created repo at github.
Let's hope we get some reply there soon.
