Foreword
  • This template plays a huge part in the lifecycle of our font packages.
  • Use it to create « Name_Font » or « Name_Fonts » pages:
    • Name_Fonts should be « Foo_fonts » and not « FooFonts_fonts » or « FooFont_fonts ».
    • use the Foundry Name convention if necessary (i.e « SIL_Abyssinica_fonts » good, « Abyssinica_SIL_fonts » 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 the page categorization once the font status changes.


Curabitur ut dui ac justo rhoncus facilisis

Requester

Characteristics

Homepage Format & features License Review reference Koji page pkgdb page
Note.png
Requester
Fill in the following information:
  • Homepage ① is a link to the font project upstream home, for example DejaVu.
  • Format ② we prefer modern OpenType (TTF/OTF) fonts, and Unicode encoding is mandatory[1]. 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 the license acceptability.
Note.png
Packager
  • 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 additional 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:


Style Faces Scripts
Sans Serif Other R B I BI Other Latin Greek Cyrillic Other
Variable Monospace Variable Monospace
Note.png
Requester
  • 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

  1. Etiam gravida lobortis ligula.
  2. Proin ultricies sapien vitae eros.
  3. Aliquam dignissim luctus risus.
Note.png
Requester and reviewer
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.
Note.png
Packager
Take care of those items and remove them from the page once they've been dealt with.


Additional information

Suspendisse libero orci, sodales non, interdum vel, accumsan non, lectus. Vivamus at neque nec lacus porta molestie. Etiam et metus at urna egestas dictum. Donec sagittis velit sed urna.

Reviewer and packager
If you have some additional information that does not fit in the previous sections, add it there.
