https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2483 Bug #: 2483 Summary: Review request: msttcore-fonts - TrueType core fonts for the web Classification: Unclassified Product: Package Reviews Version: Current Platform: All OS/Version: GNU/Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: Review Request AssignedTo: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org ReportedBy: janes.rob(a)gmail.com CC: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org spec file: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/specs/msttcore-fon... Source rpm: no source rpm. there is no source, the microsoft eula doesn't allow distribution of the fonts with the rpm. rpm: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-font... ======================================================================== Description: This provides the TrueType core fonts for the web that were once available from http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/ prior to 2002, and most recently updated in the European Union Expansion Update circa May 2007, still available on the Microsoft website. With this rpm the actual font cab files are downloaded from a Sourceforge project mirror and unpacked at install time. Therefore this package technically does not 'redistribute' the fonts. The fonts are then added to the core X fonts system as well as the Xft font system. These are the cab files downloaded: andale32.exe, arialb32.exe, comic32.exe, courie32.exe, georgi32.exe, impact32.exe, webdin32.exe, EUupdate.EXE, wd97vwr32.exe These cab files are only downloaded if EUupdate.EXE cannot be downloaded, since the EUupdate.EXE cab contains updates for the fonts in these cabs: arial32.exe, times32.exe, trebuc32.exe, verdan32.exe These are the fonts added: 1998 Andale Mono 2006 Arial: bold, bold italic, italic, regular 1998 Arial: black 1998 Comic: bold, regular 2000 Courier: bold, bold italic, italic, regular 1998 Impact 2006 Times: bold, bold italic, italic, regular 2006 Trebuchet: bold, bold italic, italic, regular 2006 Verdana: bold, bold italic, italic, regular 1998 Webdings ======================================================================== Fedora eligibility: I haven't tried, but I assume licensing restrictions on the fonts would be an issue, although the fonts are not a part of the rpm. ======================================================================== rpmlint: ======================================================================== This is my first rpmfusion package ======================================================================== I am seeking a sponsor.
