Recently our country government was changed to our money symbol and publish new package for several OS one of is Redhat(Fedora etc).Could we change with new symbol to our money currency symbol. Links; (Turkish Language) but you can see "Redhat Linux" and that compatible for Fedora. I already read PDF too.And in PDF headline you can see " Fedora " too . http://www.tcmb.gov.tr/yeni/iletisimgm/TLSimge/TLSimgesiKurulumu/TLSimge_rpm.php Thanks Onuralp
So, we could either pull in this one font, or get the character added to Dejavu & similar locations. Assiging to dejavu-fonts, which will also bring in people who can discuss the adding of a new font package.
we can get the character and change to old one(or just add this one without delete old types) and update to dejavu-fonts look good idea.
The font package that was linked to puts the Turkish Lira symbol at U+00A8 DIAERESIS, which is flat-out wrong. There is a proposal (N4258R) to add the Turkish Lira symbol to UCS at U+20BA, along with other currency symbols, and I guess that might be pushed through quickly, as was done for the new Indian Rupee sign a while ago. I'd suggest the best option is to push this to DejaVu and other font packages upstream, though it would be a shame to jump the gun and put the new symbol in the wrong place again.
Yes the request should be filled at the upstream of each of the major fonts we use. Though at least for DejaVu, policy was to never add a symbol before the Unicode consortium had approved it and allocated a long-term codepoint, as fonts that make codepoint mistakes cause no end of interoperability problems (users tend to build documents that use the wrong temporary codepoint years after a new one was allocated, if you release 'temporary' fonts that let them do it)

I don't know how far the Turkish lira proposal has progressed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
