Changing « Preferred Family » value
Hi ! I've just been assigned a bug report on a font package I maintain in Fedora [1]. >From my understanding, the bug is in the TTF file itself. I'm not very familiar with fonts (I took over this package as it was orphaned and needed by the fedora-olpc effort), so I don't really know how I should proceed to fix it. Is there a way for me to patch the TTF file ? Does this belong upstream, so I should report it to the font developer ? Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Does this belong > upstream, so I should report it to the font developer ? Good to discuss with upstream. Someone on IRC informed that there are other Nafees fonts also. so, if those also installed manually along with Nafees-Web-Naksha font then all point to same fontname Nafees in font selection dialog box. > > > Any hint would be greatly appreciated. > > Regards, > > > [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490830 > > -- > > Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) > > "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary > safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin > > ___ > Fedora-fonts-list mailing list > Fedora-fonts-list@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list > Regards, Parag. ___ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
