[Fedora-i18n-list] Configuring default font
by Ali Majdzadeh
Hello All
Sorry, if my question is elementary. I have installed Persian fonts. Is
there a way to configure the system to use a special font as the system
default font? I can view and edit text using installed fonts, but I don't
know how I can specify a font to be the default one. (For example, in
desktop environments or widgets' captions.)
Best Regards
Ali

[Fedora-i18n-list] naming scheme for fonts packages?
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen
I am currently reviewing a Tibetan font for inclusion in Fedora.
It is called Tibetan Machine Uni, and we have had a lengthy
polite discussion on the naming of the package both in and out
of bugzilla, also with the upstream maintainer. (The project is hosted
on SourceForge and GPL fwiw). The package was submitted as
tibetan-machine-uni-fonts, so I suggested fonts-tibetan. However since
the font is also good for Bhutanese, the submitter and the maintainer
think fonts-tibetan-dzongkha (bhutanese) would be more appropriate.
It occurred to me that we really need some guideline about naming of
fonts packages. Most of our international fonts follow the naming
scheme "fonts-*" where "*" is the generally the English name of the
language, which makes the package pretty easy to find. And the
remainder are mostly suffixed with "-fonts". Currently in F7T2 there are:
fonts-ISO8859-2 fonts-KOI8-R fonts-arabic fonts-bengali fonts-chinese
fonts-gujarati fonts-hebrew fonts-hindi fonts-japanese fonts-kannada
fonts-korean fonts-malayalam fonts-oriya fonts-punjabi fonts-sinhala
fonts-tamil fonts-telugu
and:
bitmap-fonts bitstream-vera-fonts dejavu-lgc-fonts ghostscript-fonts
tetex-fonts urw-fonts xorg-x11-fonts
In Extras the fonts tend to be more alternative/miscellaneous I guess:
VLGothic-fonts artwiz-aleczapka-fonts charis-fonts dejavu-fonts
doulos-fonts gentium-fonts hunky-fonts linux-libertine-fonts
mathml-fonts mgopen-fonts terminus-font, and fonts-hebrew-fancy
So perhaps we need to set two naming conventions: using
"fonts-<language>" for standard international fonts and "<name>-fonts"
for alternative general fonts?
Of course "fonts-<language>" doesn't quite solve the problem for the
Tibetan font... ;) The name fonts-tibetan-script was also brought up,
and even fonts-bodic.
It would probably be good to add some text about in on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines anyway.
Comments? Opinions?

[Fedora-i18n-list] Adding Georgian Support in Fedora
by George Machitidze
Hi all,
I want to add Georgian support in lang-table. My friend has finished
console font, but we dont know how to include it yet (kbd package). We
have about
15-20% of quality non-fuzzy translations that is enough for users and
we want to continue with it. Fedora 7RC's will be best testing
platform for us, because at this moment we can, but we dont have
enough time and machines to make distros with anaconda, it's better to
use this freetime for translations.
Please tell us how/where to add bitmap console font and how to get rw
cvs access on anaconda module if it's required.
Thank you!

[Fedora-i18n-list] smolt
by Josep Puigdemont
Hi,
During the installation of F7t2 I realized that the smolt screen in
firstboot was not translated, even if firstboot seems to be 100%
translated for my language.
I looked at firstboot modules, and it seems the smolt part belongs to
the "smolt-firstboot" rpm, unfortunately this module is not included in
the "translate" cvs module that translators use for translating fedora.
Could someone please add it to "translate", or make it part of
firstboot?
Thanks!
