Summary: Merge new characters from Chromium OS core fonts
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=637606
Summary: Merge new characters from Chromium OS core fonts Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: liberation-fonts AssignedTo: psatpute@redhat.com ReportedBy: cody@zone38.net QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: petersen@redhat.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute@redhat.com, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora
Description of problem: Chromium OS includes new fonts called Arimo, Cousine, and Tinos. These fonts are, in fact, identical in design to the the Liberation fonts; more accurately, they're new font files direct from Steve Matteson using the same character designs as Liberation. However, these fonts include a vastly larger character set, including such glyphs as Polytonic Greek, Altaic Cyrillic and IPA that might be useful for certain locales.
The latest revision of the Chromium fonts, as of now, is downloadable here: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromeos-localmirror/distfiles/crosc...
And the relevant issues from Chromium OS are here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=5287 http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=5941
Would it be possible to work with Google and/or Steve Matteson to get these new characters merged into the Liberation fonts as well?
