Foreword
- Copy this template as needed in SIGs/Fonts/Info/Name pages:
- Name should be « Foo » and not « Foo Fonts » or « FooFont ».
- use the Foundry Name convention if necessary (i.e « SIL_Abyssinica » good, « Abyssinica_SIL » bad).
- Frames that use this style are redaction tips. Please remove them from your page once they are no longer necessary. Do the same for the lorem ipsum bits.
- Remember the more complete and accurate the information you add is, the more likely a font is to be packaged and widely used.
- Do not forget to update your page Categories once a font status changes.

Characteristics
| Homepage | Format & features | License | Review reference | Koji page | pkgdb page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ① | ② | ③ | ④ | ⑤ | ⑥ |
ID Card
- Homepage ① is a link to the font project upstream home, for example DejaVu.
- Format ② can be TTF, OTF or any other font format. If the font includes advanced smart font features such as locl or hinting, please document them too.
- License ③ should correspond to an entry on our legal page. If that's not the case please follow the procedure documented on that page to check what can be done.
- Once a package has entered the review stage, add a Review reference ④ such as 181994. You can reference this wiki page in your review request as additionnal information. Please do not forget to CC fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com on your bugzilla ticket.
- Once a package has been approved, add the corresponding Koji page ⑤ and pkgdb page ⑥ pointers. For example dejavu-fonts and dejavu-fonts.

Face list
- Add as many lines as necessary in the preceding table. Be careful not to mix faces with different characteristics on the same line (for example if a font bundle includes a serif font with a regular and bold face, and a sans-serif font with regular, bold, italic and bold-italic faces, use two different lines).
- Use ✘s to indicate a common feature is present.
- Other features can be filled this way:
- other styles ①: fantasy, cursive, etc,
- other faces ②: condensed, extralight, etc,
- other scripts ③: list the corresponding IS0 15924 codes. Tools like gucharmap or fileformat's online test can be used to check coverage if upstream's information is not clear enough.
Caveats
- Etiam gravida lobortis ligula.
- Proin ultricies sapien vitae eros.
- Aliquam dignissim luctus risus.
Packaging notes
List there the elements you know of that will impact packaging activity, such as licensing that needs clarifying, an upstream that uses a specific non-english language to communicate, broken or incomplete build scripts, etc.
