This bug has been filed because we've detected your package includes one or several font files: repoquery -C --repoid=rawhide -f '*.ttf' -f '*.otf' -f '*.pfb' -f '*.pfa' --qf='%{SOURCERPM}\n' |sed -e 's+-[0-9.-]*\.fc[123456789]\(.*\)src.rpm++g'|sort|uniq Unfortunately the script does not detect symlinks to other packages, so if that's your case, you can close this bug report now. Otherwise, you should know that: - Fedora guidelines demand the packaging of fonts in a separate package or subpackage: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_fonts_in_other_packages - our font packaging guidelines recently changed, and every package that ships fonts must be adapted to the new templates available in the fontpackages-devel package. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation_(2008-11-18) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_package http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts Please make your package conform to the current guidelines in rawhide. If your package is not principaly a font package, depending on a separate font package or subpackage is the prefered solution. If your application does not use fontconfig you can always package symlinks to the files provided by the font package and installed in the correct fontconfig directories. It is preferred to make a font package or subpackage per font family, though it is not currently a hard guidelines requirement (it may become before Fedora 11 is released). The definition of a font family is given on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_notes/font-family The new templates should make the creation of font subpackages easy and safe.

* Sat Dec 27 2008 Hans de Goede <hdegoede> 1.6.0-3 - Remove non-free fonts from samples subpackage (rh 477434)
Please consider linking to dejavu full and not lgc as full is installed on most Fedora systems while LGC is not
Ogre also uses condensed fonts in several places which are only available in the LGC version, closing again. Note orge itself is not used much, and the demos (which require the fonts) are even less often installed. So this really is not much of an issue IMHO.

This is because you do not have the experimental dejavu subpackage installed. Since it has not been experimental for quite a long time, and people like you were confused by the package split, F11 has a new package layout $ rpm -ql dejavu-fonts-sans /etc/fonts/conf.d/20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans.conf /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans.conf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-ExtraLight.ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf LGC is built from the same sources as dejavu by removing stuff so it can't have material not present in full
Ok, I changed it to use the full dejavu version now, closing again :)
Thanks a lot
