A page of the Fonts Special Interest Group

The following table attempts to trace font package inclusion history in Fedora and its predecessors (Fedora Core, Fedora Extras, Fedora.us). Package availability is mostly listed at release time, except when the rolling nature of the repository (Fedora Extras, Fedora.us) made this check difficult.

Distribution-wide audit and mass repackaging of Fedora fonts. The new font packages:
  • use consistent naming,
  • use consistent granularity (font family),
  • use consistent scriptlets (less bugs),
  • can be installed independently,
  • are all exposed in fontconfig.

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.

Fedora Extras is announced.

Attempt to clean up and consolidate Fedora Core font package naming. Since the rules chosen are different from the community rules of Fedora Extras, more mass renaming will quickly follow.

MgOpen is merged.
