Debian Fonts Task Force
Welcome to the website of the pkg-fonts team.
Current detailed review of all the fonts in the Debian archive with previews, metadata and validation reports.
The aim of this Debian team is to:
-
maintain open fonts
-
maintain related software forming the toolkit to do open font design
-
review existing fonts in the archive for redundancy, description accuracy, licensing compliance
-
be in touch with the type design community to encourage them to use FLOSS licenses for their creation
-
test and tweak the interaction of fonts with other parts of the OS especially in the area of i18n (Unicode coverage, style coherence per language, smart features, etc)
-
create the appropriate metapackages
The team is open to everyone who would like to help.
We will work together with projects related to open/libre fonts like OpenFontLibrary.org the unifont.org/fontguide, the Ubuntu fonts team, the Fedora font SIG, the TextLayout Summit and the LibreGraphicsMeeting communities. We will help define a freedesktop.org common open font set
