Re: [Design-team] Fedora Branding Fonts
Hi, On this list, Droid is a free font, Quicksand has no real licence (so no clear legal status) and the others are not FLOSS fonts. So if you wan to stay within the Fedora project goals, Droid is your only choice (which sucks for me as I am behind my package maintenance schedule in Fedora) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

accents seem to work.
If I write 'Máirín' in MgOpen Modata, the á and í print out, but not in
the MgOpen Modata letterforms. Instead the font system falls back to
DejaVu (I believe, could be another fallback font but looks like DejaVu
to me).
You can easily test the language coverage of a font file using the
command:
FC_DEBUG=256 fc-query filename
It will print all sorts of information, including a list of ISO 639
language codes followed by the number of associated missing codepoints
in the font file. For example:
aa(10) ab(90) af(17) ak(21) am(264) an(14) ar(36) as(64) ast(14) av(67)
ay(8) { 00c4 00cf 00d1 00dc 00e4 00ef 00f1 00fc }
az-az(14) az-ir(40) ba(82) be(68) ber-dz(18) ber-ma(32) bg(60)
…
de(7) { 00c4 00d6 00dc 00df 00e4 00f6 00fc }
dv(49) dz(95) ee(47) el(0) en(20) eo(12) es(14) et(12)
…
If the number is zero (el(0)) the font file contains all the bits needed
to write the associated language (Greek, not surprizing since Modata is
a Greek font), if it is non-zero it is missing this number of
codepoints, if it is non-zero and less than ten fc-query will print the
list of missing codepoints after the language number :
ay(8) { 00c4 00cf 00d1 00dc 00e4 00ef 00f1 00fc }
Of course just because a font includes support for lots of codepoints
does not mean they are all well designed. So it's just a minimal test.
Also don't test just the Normal font, the coverage of Bold/Italic/etc
can ans is often different.
As for Modata, ga(28) means it sucks for Gaelic (Irish)

Has anyone heard any feedback, good or bad? (I've heard nothing) My main beef with it is that it is not a mosaic, it's a set or very regular square tiles. Therefore, while the motif is itself pleasant, I don't really relate it with the release name. An actual antique mosaic is composed of less regular tesselae, they're not lined up on a grid, and they compose some motif. -- Nicolas Mailhot ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
