Variable Monospace Variable Monospace


Caveats

  1. Needs to be built from sources with Fedora fontforge.
  2. Needs two subpackages, one for the OTF version the other for the TTF version. ==> Just building the TTF version (prefered by the author)
  3. Needs the same fontconfig substitution rules as DejaVu/DejaVu LGC so switching from Old Standard to Old Standard TT is transparent.
  4. Upstream requested changing the font name if the font was rebuilt from source. Need to coordinate with the Debian font team.
