hi,
I'm a newbie packager.. I was trying to package this font. http://www.tulrich.com/fonts/
The upstream tarball has otfs, ttfs and also sfd source. I enquired at #fedora on the IRC and was advised to not use the ttf/otfs but build from the sfd files. I dont know how to do this.. can anyone please help??
Hi,
It's always nice to see new packagers on the list. Please take the time to read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fonts_packaging
if you haven't done so yet.
As for building from sfds, you have a simple example there: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/inconsolata-fonts/inconsolata-font...
Bigger projects like Liberation or DejaVu automate sfd processing with a makefile. If you are really interested in a font, it's a good idea to read them and contribute the corresponding makefile to the upstream project.
Regards,
