https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472835
Summary: Add VAG Rounded aliases to Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: mgopen-fonts AssignedTo: paskalis@di.uoa.gr ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: paskalis@di.uoa.gr, fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com Blocks: 446451 Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
According to discussions on the Open Font Library List Modata is a derivative of the well-known VAG Rounded font Volkwagen AG put in the public domain when it had no longer use of it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAG_Rounded http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/openfontlibrary/2008-November/001559.h...
Therefore, the Fedora package shipping Modata should include aliasing rules that tell fontconfig to use Modata when it encounters a document or web page using VAG Rounded or one of its derivatives (it seems VAG rounded was good enough every proprietary foundry jumped on it when it was PDed and created their own version).
Common font names used by VAG derivatives are "VAG Rounded Std" "VAG Rundschrift" "VAG Rounded"
This can be done at the time the package is converted to new F11 packaging guidelines if FPC approves http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation

Is such a fontconfig file ok for the modata alias? I am not very familiar with fontconfig syntax, so I copy/pasted from the relevant DejaVu fontconfig settings.
As for the new packaging guidelines I will wait for the FPC approval before proceeding.

You have simpler and cleaner fontconfig templates in the fontpackages stuff referenced on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation
Unlike the spec part, they are not F11-oriented and should work as-is with current packaging guidelines (you want to look at the fontconfig template named substitution-font-template.conf)

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'.
More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
--- Comment #4 from Sarantis Paskalis paskalis@di.uoa.gr 2008-11-26 05:48:07 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=324701) --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=324701) modata fontconfig
Could you please check the attached fontconfig configuration (this is modata specific).
I can't see how to clean it up further.
