--- Comment #8 from Oron Peled oron@actcom.co.il 2009-02-18 18:13:33 EDT --- * Someone called my name ;-) [yes, I'm the slow Hebrew l10n coordinator] * Historically the Culmus project distributed its fonts as: - Culmus (the regular fonts you just re-packaged) - Culmus fancy fonts. Extra free fonts. They are currently still packaged as: fonts-hebrew-fancy-0.20051122-4.fc10.noarch - Lately they added a third category -- Ancient fonts (for ancient Semitic scripts). All these are linked from: http://culmus.sourceforge.net/ [it's a bit confusing as the normal "Download" links of sourceforge only lead you to the "regular" Culmus fonts]
* Some of the fancy fonts are unique. E.g: the "Ktav-Yad" is the only free "hand-writing" font in Hebrew.
* As for naming: - For consistency to end users, i think the fonts in the "fancy" category should be named just like the other Culmus fonts. Example: culmus-ktav-yad-fonts and not: culmus-fancy-ktav-yad-fonts. [the split to "fancy" was done for economy (bandwidth) reasons not really functional ones].
- Of course we can group the "fancy" ones via a meta-package that requires each of them. But I don't think it worth the trouble and it may confuse people to think it's yet another font from this collection.
- We can add the "Ancient" ones in this go (if you have time for this) But IMO their name should contain "ancient", as they actually represent different scripts). E.g: culmus-ancient-hebrew-paleo-gezer-fonts What? this is getting too much. Maybe settle for: ancient-hebrew-paleo-gezer-fonts
* For any help/rants etc., just mail me (on http://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages/he you can see my email as my bugzilla account.
