Feature added by: Thomas Schraitle (thomas-schraitle) Feature #313035, revision 1 Title: Invent Consistent Font Naming Schema openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Thomas Schraitle (thomas-schraitle) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, our package names for fonts are suboptimal. Here are some examples: farsifonts fonts-arabic freefont gnu-unifont indic-fonts intlfonts-ttf xorg-x11-fonts
From a usability perspective, it would be better to make a consistent naming schema for font packages. Naming schemas from other distributions:
* Ubuntu: prefix with "ttf-" * Fedora: suffix with "-fonts" With the above inconcistency, popular fonts like LinuxLibertine or dejavu cannot be found. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The benefits: * Consistency: easier to find, easier to install * Usability: better to memorize and therefor easier to find * Migration: Users from other distributions find their fonts easier -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313035
