I had to remove one glyph from serafettin to make it build with the latest FF. I don't know the reason why I had to remove the glyph. I hope that they will take my bug report into account in the future. Orcan ___ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list

Well, I did that once and weird things happened. I had to learn cvs to clean the mess. It was good though. In the end, I learned something useful. However I would suggest using the procedure given in the guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/UpdatingPackageHowTo Paul, I think you need to spend a little more time in the wiki. Most of the questions you ask have direct answers there. Feel free to ask questions about parts that you don't understand.
