Hi William,

Yes, the Fedora/Centos packages look like the come from:

https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/

$ dnf info gnu-free-serif-fonts
...
Name         : gnu-free-serif-fonts
Version      : 20120503
...
>From repo    : appstream
Summary      : GNU FreeFont Serif Font
URL          : http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/
...

I think it was the gnu-free-serif-fonts package but these are the complete
set on Centos/Fedora:

gnu-free-mono-fonts-20120503-18.el8.0.1.noarch
gnu-free-sans-fonts-20120503-18.el8.0.1.noarch
gnu-free-serif-fonts-20120503-18.el8.0.1.noarch
gnu-free-fonts-common-20120503-18.el8.0.1.noarch

gnu-free-fonts-common-20120503-24.fc34.noarch
gnu-free-sans-fonts-20120503-24.fc34.noarch
gnu-free-serif-fonts-20120503-24.fc34.noarch
gnu-free-mono-fonts-20120503-24.fc34.noarch
