Summary: Replace bitstream-vera dependencies with dejavu dependencies

Summary: Replace bitstream-vera dependencies with dejavu dependencies Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: e16 AssignedTo: terjeros@phys.ntnu.no ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: terjeros@phys.ntnu.no, wart@kobold.org, fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com, atorkhov@gmail.com Blocks: 446451 Classification: Fedora
Bitstream Vera has long been deprecated in Fedora in favour of DejaVu, which is a community fork and extension of the Bitsream release. The majority of users will have DejaVu installed on system and pulling Vera in is a waste of resources.
For Fedora 11, please consider changing the e16 deps on bitstream-vera-fonts to one or several of:
dejavu-fonts-sans dejavu-fonts-sans-mono dejavu-fonts-serif dejavu-fonts-lgc-sans dejavu-fonts-lgc-sans-mono dejavu-fonts-lgc-serif
Nowadays LGC is only installed for special cases, and people use the full version of the fonts.

The compat packages are transitory and will be gone in F12
