The Fedora Fonts Special Interest Group

The Fonts SIG could have been named the Text or Typography SIG. While fonts are a large part of what we do, our actual scope is larger.

About us

The Fonts Special Interest Group is an informal group of Fedora Linux contributors. It is dedicated to improving fonts availability and text rendering/layouting in the distribution:

Any font or text-related activity can be tackled, as long as the result is free/libre and compatible with the Fedora objectives.

The current SIG task list is published here.

We do not have a dedicated IRC channel right now; the general low-traffic ##fonts channel on irc.freenode.net should be used instead. It is shared by several free/open font groups and is distribution-agnostic.


Nicolas Spalinger of SIL, Debian and Ubuntu fonts fame has set up planet open fonts to help people in the free/libre-open fonts community exchange information.
