Fonts inclusion history

The following table attempts to trace font package inclusion history in Fedora and its predecessors (Fedora Core, Fedora Extras, Fedora.us). Package availability is mostly listed at release time, except when the rolling nature of the repository (Fedora Extras, Fedora.us) made this check difficult.

Most of the fonts in generically named font packages have been moved to their own packages (Baekmuk, Lohit…) to reflect the upstream name and make font choices easier. The large and necessary F8 package churn thus does not correspond to the inclusion of many new fonts. Fonts SIG SIG creation late in the Fedora 8 cycle, with the aim to accelerate Fedora fonts inclusion.

Fonts in Fedora
The Fonts SIG takes loving care of Fedora fonts. Please join this special interest group if you are interested in creating, improving, packaging, or just suggesting a font. Any help will be appreciated.
