--- Comment #3 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net --- The transition from Type 1 already happened years ago while you were not looking.
Thanks to TEX Gyre, and LibreOffice dropping Type1 support, and years of work by many people, including myself, including documentation work.
The main Fedora application that uses vector fonts, LibreOffice, deprecated them in version 5.3, so that makes it a Fedora 26 change (6 releases ago)
Bitmap is a special last-redoubt case. It’s not a generic font situation, no matter how much you want to make it.
