ToBeContinued is a pfb font providing a fun fantasy-like script.  This package was on the Fonts SIG request for packaging.

Comment 1 Clint Savage 2009-01-24 07:04:35 UTC
I wanted to add that the page for this font has been created and is available at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/To_Be_Continued_fonts

Comment 2 Clint Savage 2009-01-24 07:36:10 UTC
So confusing, setting for review again.

Comment 3 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-01-24 11:08:36 UTC
1. As noted on IRC, the font file claims "© Alex Chisholm. All rights reserved.", while the web site claims "© Matt Chisholm, OFL" so you have a licensing discrepancy. I doubt it is acceptable as-is, please have it clarified upstream

2. The TTF version is probably better for Fedora than the Type1 version. The days of Type1 being the primary Linux font format are long past

3. Please remove comments from your spec file

4. I'd have named the package chisholm-to-be-continued-fonts, both to have a common prefix to use with other fonts on that site and to respect the name the font declares

Comment 4 Clint Savage 2009-01-24 20:33:10 UTC
1. Sent an email to Matt Chisholm about the legal discrepancy.  

2. Packaged the ttf version for review instead of the Type1 font.

3. Spec file is clean.

4. Package has been renamed to accommodate such credit.

I've uploaded two new files to represent the spec and srpm respective to the requested changes:

SRPM: http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/rpms/chisholm-to-be-continued-fonts-19990319-1.fc10.src.rpm
SPEC: http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/rpms/chisholm-to-be-continued.spec

Comment 5 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-01-24 21:34:24 UTC
1. you need to rename your spec too
2. your summary is too generic, add graffiti or cursive or decorative in there
3. why install -m 0643 (is this a reviewer-awake test?)
4. why fantacy in the fontconfig file (is this another test?)

Apart from that, you only need confirmation in the licensing in %doc to finish the package

Comment 6 Clint Savage 2009-01-25 17:00:32 UTC
1. Thanks for that catch, I missed the -fonts.
2. Added Decorative to the summary
3. I honestly don't know how that happened.  Fixed.
4. Again, I must have been sleepy at some point. I didn't see that change. Fixed.

The new font is licensed correctly in the font itself, thus no documentation needed.  Because of the license change (a new version of the font) and renaming the spec, two new files exist again.

SRPM: http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/rpms/chisholm-to-be-continued-fonts-20090124-1.fc10.src.rpm
SPEC: http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/rpms/chisholm-to-be-continued-fonts.spec

Comment 7 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-01-25 17:15:53 UTC
The SPEC still includes a 
install -m 0643 -p %{SOURCE1}

I'll approve the package, but please fix this before import in cvs.

✧✧✧ APPROVED ✧✧✧

You can now continue from
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle#3.a
Please do not forget the wiki and comps bits.

Thank your for packaging a new font for Fedora.

How is this package in the distribution when this ticket is still blocking FE-Legal?

Comment 13 Clint Savage 2009-09-24 20:00:17 UTC
That block should have been removed some time ago.  The author changed the license to a free license.
