Fonts in Fedora
The Fonts SIG takes loving care of Fedora fonts. Please join this special interest group if you are interested in creating, improving, packaging, or just suggesting a font. Any help will be appreciated.

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.

 == Description ==
-The Dai Banna SIL Fonts are the Unicode version of their predecessor, SIL Dai Banna Fonts.  Apart from a few additional characters such as Chinese punctuation marks, the design is the same and represents a new rendering of the New Tai Lue (Xishuangbanna Dai) script, which was first added to  Unicode 4.1 and subsequently amended.1  These fonts include a complete set of New Tai Lue consonants, vowels, tones and digits, along with punctuation and other useful symbols. A basic set of Latin glyphs, including Arabic numerals, is also provided. Chinese punctuation used in New Tai Lue texts are included as well.

 == Caveats ==
-# Upstream claims those are two different fonts and indeed they declare two different font families. However those are really 8 faces of a single font, and the plural is disputable. Therefore the font set should arguably be packaged in a single package.
-# You should ask the fontconfig maintainer for a fontconfig trick that would help collapsing the 8 faces under a single family. do Do not forget to include other appropriate [[Fontconfig_packaging_tips|fontconfig rules]] in the package too.
-{{admon/note | Packager | Take care of those items and remove them from the page once they've been dealt with.
