I reject the idea of making openSUSE worse for the benefit of aligning with some state of another distro.
We chose to prefix the font name with a distinguishing vendor name of sorts, and there are at least two good backing reasons use such a scheme:
- different foundries can create the same font (with subtle differences, as always ;-)). Examples: * Adobe Courier; Monotype Courier
Both equally disgusting when appearing on a PC screen. :-)
- forks need to be considered. Examples: * lomt-raleway-fonts; impallari-raleway-fonts (later renamed) * google inconsolata and inconsolata DZ.
- different authors choosing a rather non-unique name for (completely different) fonts. No examples to date, since it does not occur as often as the other two.
If these outweigh the difficulty caused by their absence, then suffix rather than prefix, so people can find them by the names that they are called by apps and UI. While Google as a foundry might not be so bad because of its ubiquity, other foundries' names if not part of the calling name are likely to do little but obfuscate discovery. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
