== Caveats ==
 
# Each font family must go in a separate subpackage
# It seems the link for the latest font pack zip is broken right now. An older (GPL) version is available from the downloads page, but it's missing a few fonts and the others are old versions

◆ Requester and packager: 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.
◆ Packager: take care of those items and remove them from the page once they've been dealt with.

== Additional information ==
 
This is a big (12+) pack of modern Unicode fonts. It used to be licensed as GPL+font exception, and is now OFL. Fedora users have [http://groups.google.com/group/GoogleAmharic/browse_thread/thread/6a0620907bdec182 expressed] a need for those fonts a long time ago.

◆ Packager: replace the « Category:Font wishlist » by
  — « 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.
◆ Requester and packager: you may additionally tag your page with one of the following categories:
  — « Category:Decorative fonts » for a font used in titles and other short runs of text, typically requested by the Artwork team
  — « Category:International fonts » for a font with unusual unicode coverage, typically requested by the I18N or L10N teams
  — « Category:Technical fonts » for a font with coverage of technical unicode blocks (math, engineering, music and other non-text blocks).
