Description Benson Muite 2025-05-26 08:25:18 UTC
spec: https://fed500.fedorapeople.org/ektype-baloo-2-fonts.spec
srpm: https://fed500.fedorapeople.org/ektype-baloo-2-fonts-1.640-1.fc41.src.rpm

description:
The Baloo 2 project consists of nine font families with unique local names for
each of the nine Indic scripts. Each family supports one Indic script plus
Latin, Latin Extended, and Vietnamese.

- Baloo 2 for Devanagari
- Baloo Bhai 2 for Gujarati
- Baloo Bhaina 2 for Odia
- Baloo Chettan 2 for Malayalam
- Baloo Da 2 for Bengali
- Baloo Paaji 2 for Gurmukhi
- Baloo Tamma 2 for Kannada
- Baloo Tammudu 2 for Telugu
- Baloo Thambi 2 for Tamil

It took a team of committed type designers to rear Baloo and raise it to be the
typeface we love. The Gurmukhi is designed by Shuchita Grover; Bangla by Noopur
Datye and Sulekha Rajkumar; Odia by Yesha Goshar, Manish Minz, and Shuchita
Grover; Gujarati by Noopur Datye and Supriya Tembe; Kannada by Divya Kowshik
and Shuchita Grover; Telugu by Maithili Shingre and Omkar Shende; Malayalam by
Maithili Shingre and Unnati Kotecha; and Tamil by Aadarsh Rajan. Baloo
Devanagari and Latin are collaboratively designed by Ek Type. Font engineering
and type design assistance by Girish Dalvi.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2025-05-28 04:58:45 UTC
I'll take a look at this.

Comment 5 Akira TAGOH 2025-05-28 09:08:05 UTC
A few questions/comments after looking roughly:

* There are no strict rules for font meta packages at the moment though, what's the reason you didn't simply follow the default naming rule of %fontmetapkg macro and have an own name of ektype-baloo-2-all?  The default name is obvious from its package name that it is a meta package for font but ektype-baloo-2-all isn't.

* Indic fonts are categorized under "Fonts with less common encodings" in /usr/share/fontconfig/templates/fontconfig-priorities.txt from fonts-rpm-templates. Using 60 in config file is too high. that breaks default font sets. Recommended priority number for optional fonts would be between 66 and 69.

* You shouldn't abbrivate a generic family name like sans in your config. it should be sans-serif.

* You don't need to test "en" for "lang" in your config. I don't think it works as expected.

* For ektype-ballo-2-fonts.conf, multiple test elements means AND operator. I think what you want to do is to have multiple <match>es per lang.

Thanks for your feedback.

Left defaults. The package name also refers to the Devanagari font package, so
all is still added to the metapackage.

Done used 67.

Comment 9 Akira TAGOH 2025-05-29 09:09:34 UTC
Thank you for updating but need one more update. I should described an example for correction for config or good to take a look at https://pagure.io/fonts-rpm-macros/blob/main/f/templates/fontconfig/l10n-font-template.conf

The expected behavior here would be to "add Ektype Baloo * as a substitute of sans-serif for lang xx" (in other words, if lang is xx AND family is sans-serif, and then add Ektype Baloo * in prior to the matched family) though, <test name="lang" .../> and then <edit .../> means "add Ektype Baloo * for lang xx anyway". also <test name="family"><string>sans-serif</string></test> and then <edit .../> means "add Ektype Baloo * as a substitute of sans-serif anyway".  So you are missing "test sans-serif" in each <match>es for lang and no need to have "test sans-serif" only.

So you may want to update like:

<match>
  <test name="lang" compare="contains">
    <string>mr</string>
  </test>
  <test name="family">
    <string>sans-serif</string>
  </test>
  <edit name="family" mode="prepend">
    <string>Ektype Baloo 2</string>
  </edit>
</match>

and do similar for other langs and fonts.
