Description

This font was designed in the 'twenties and the 'thirties of the XXth century by Polish graphic artist and a typographer Adam Półtawski. It was widely used by Polish printing houses as long as metal types were in use (until the 'sixties).

The electronic replica of Antykwa Półtawskiego was prepared by Bogusław Jackowski, Janusz M. Nowacki and Piotr Strzelczyk (JNS TEAM) and first released during the meeting of the Polish TeX Users Group (GUST) (Bachotek, Poland, April-May, 2000) as a preliminary version.

The main source of Antykwa Półtawskiego were printouts of metal types.

Caveats

1. The font is probably intended to be published under the usual GUST license (LPPL variant), and being a from-scratch digital revival there should not be any legal problems. This needs no be clarified upstream however (otherwise OFL or GPL + font exception would be good).
2. This licensing would not require building from source, though it would be nice to get the sources published and use them to build the Fedora TrueTypes.
3. Upstream unfortunately has a deplorable attitude on licensing (see page 5 of this interview, and page 8 of this presentation), not understanding that muddy licensing just makes everyone waste major amounts of time and energy. Upstream needs to be contacted and convinced to put a clear licensing statement in the font archives, and optionally the font metadata and the font web page.

Packager
Take care of those items and remove them from the page once they've been dealt with.

Packager
You MUST replace the Category:Font wishlist tag with:

• Category:In-progress fonts for a font being worked on, but not available in Fedora yet. Typically in packaging review stage.
• Category:Packaged fonts for a packaged font, available in Fedora.
• Category:Rejected and retired fonts for a font we decided not to package after review, or removed from current Fedora repositories for some other reason.

Don't forget to remove the « : » before « Category » to activate a particular category tag.
