Am reviewing amir-samaano-fonts [1], which includes a variable font. When both variable and fall back regular fonts are packaged, some applications such as Inkscape may have difficulty indicating which fonts are available. If just a variable font is packaged, Inkscape and other applications such as Abiword, Gimp and Krita, seem to be ok and give reasonable options for thin, medium and bold weights and for italic and underline. Application support is evolving. Should packagers choose to either package the variable fonts or the classical fonts, or if both are offered, make them conflicting separate packages? The current release does not have good support for color fonts, for example try Kalnia Glaze Fonts[2], but support for these is still growing in applications outside of web fonts. 1) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2330850 2) https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/fed500/fmedrano-kalnia-glaze-fonts/ -- _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list -- fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to fonts-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
