Feature changed by: Thomas Schraitle (thomas-schraitle) Feature #313035, revision 3 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. + Please document any decisions in the Package Guidelines regarding how + to name our fonts correctly and consistently. + Relations: + - Package Guidelines (url: + http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines) + - Old Wiki Page for Font Package Layout (url: http://old-en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Fonts_Policy#Package_layout_for_fonts) + - Ubuntu Font Package List (url: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ttf) + - Fedora Font Package List (url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/list/*-fonts*?_csrf_token=b272157...) 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
