[Bug 1071496] New: Duplication of Liberation fonts and Chrome OS fonts?
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1071496 Bug ID: 1071496 Summary: Duplication of Liberation fonts and Chrome OS fonts? Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: qantas94heavy@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- As far as I am aware, the Liberation series of fonts are practically the same as the Chrome OS set of fonts (Arimo, Tinos, Cousine). Is it still necessary then to have the google-croscore-fonts package for Leap 15.0? If we were to remove one of the two packages, would we need to provide substitute font names or something like that? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[1]: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/568893 --- Liberation 2.x is a fork of the Google Arimo/Tinos/Cousine families, but hasn't really been updated and has less glyphs. Liberation 1.x has better font hinting but far fewer glyphs than either of the two newer ones. Apart from the narrow Sans font, which is only available with Liberation 1.x, all other font weights are the same. In terms of licensing: * Liberation 1.x: GPL-2.0 only with Liberation font exception * Liberation 2.x: OFL-1.1 * Google CrOS fonts: Apache 2.0, but they also appear to have another copy under the OFL-1.1. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
