While we're at it: should we keep the whole prefix google-*? That is, whether google-noto-emoji-fonts or noto-emoji-fonts. I think the latter is enough, but the former is clearer that it's a subpackage of google-noto-fonts.
Why is the string google- in any font package name? Are any of Google's fonts called by fontconfig using string "google-"? I wish openSUSE (DW#4)[1] would align with what other major distros do.
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 - 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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
