The Fonts Special Interest Group is dedicated to improving fonts availability and text rendering/layouting in Fedora. Its activities include:
- finding the best fonts to include, for internationalization and localization reasons, or to please our artists,
- packaging new fonts and font tools,
- free/libre font evangelism: convince foundries to release fonts under a free/libre Fedora-friendly license, recruit possible free/libre font authors…
- font creation and design,
- identifying font or text problems in applications and libraries,
- fixing them or getting them fixed,
- choosing good Fedora fonts defaults,
- etc
Any font or text-related activity can be tackled, as long as the result is free/libre and compatible with the Fedora objectives.
The current SIG task list is published there.
