Linex Abecedario TTF GPL


Style Faces Scripts
Sans Serif Other R B I BI Other Latin Greek Cyrillic Other
Variable Monospace Variable Monospace
cursive (7 variants that need to be sorted)

Caveats

  1. Complete description need to be take either from the Debian package or by translating the Spanish one in the font metadata
  2. Upstream needs to be contacted to add the FSF font exception to their GPL licensing
  3. Depending if the 7 variants map to the WWS font classification model or not, this may require several subpackages
  4. May be easier to package for a Spanish speaker
  5. Need to check with the author if he prefers the “linex” or “jjm” prefix


Additional information

  1. Fonts created specifically for the gnuLinEx distribution (Debian derivative used by some Spanish regions in schools). Needed for parity with Debian.
  2. Please do not package the whole font set in a single srpm: use one srpm for Abecedario, one for Elegante, etc
