I'd suggest two approaches: 1) as comment #2 says, we are allowed to redistribute the original files (http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/eula.htm) the Grant of Reproduction and Distribution, how do I understand it, even allows us to include the files within srpm - since verbatim copies of the .exes can be extracted from the srpm *and* the srpm can include that EULA (well, it has to be included in that case) so, if possible from the POV of the build and distribution system, we can make an exception and provide just the srpm and not the "binary" packages 2) we can cheat rpm - based on the premise that verbatim copies including the EULA can be redistributed, we can build binary rpms that would include the source .exes, and they would install the font files and remove the sources using post install script -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

At some point last year, I had a need for free comic style fonts too and I decided to make one myself. This is based on some Tamil font which was GPL.
