In Fedora 8 fonts for all available languages are now installed by default on the desktop to give good default language coverage.

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.

  2. Liberation is added to Fedora.


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.
