(In reply to Nicolas Mailhot from comment #24)
No, because bpg-dejavu-sans-fonts is not a complete fork of dejavu,
it is
missing other parts.
Also, bpg-dejavu-sans-fonts is quite shaky legal-wise, the Georgian dev is
completely clueless about licensing, I’m not sure its GPL use is compatible
with the licensing in the other parts of dejavu, and even if it is, there
are good reason we are not using the GPL for font files (it would make
documents, that embed font parts, such as ODF or PDF, GPL, which is
definitely not what our users need).
Sounds like Noto Georgian may be a better bet then.
Not to mention the BPG family names typos.
We really need someone to revive the upstream dejavu project and
restart
merging fixes and enhancements, since the original authors lost the drive.
That would be great indeed.
(Can’t really blame them when downstreams like Fedora Workstation
removed
DejaVu as default font just because it was steady and “boring”).
That is not completely accurate, Dejavu is still default, just not for Gnome UI
chrome.
(And that was encouraged by Gnome, not particularly Fedora Workstation.)
