Subject: Translating gnome-menus entries
Message-ID: <1151843801.27086.18.camel@MrTomLinux.workstation>
Hello,
Some entries in my French Fedora Core installation are not translated in
gnome menus.
These are the "search" entry and the "suspend" one.
I did a
grep "Search" translate/*/fr.po
but the results do not apply for this case.
Is it an upstream gnome related issue?
Thanks

Subject: Request for testing: DejaVu 2.7 font family
Message-ID: <1151888988.4527.13.camel@localhost.localdomain>
Dear All,
Below is a message from Nicolas Mailhot who's asking for testing on
DejaVu.
Please kindly have a look.
Regards,
Chester
%<--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I'm calling for a round of testing/feedback on DejaVu
(http://dejavu.sf.net/). You don't need any technical background to
provide it. Just read this message.
DejaVu is the most popular FOSS derivative of Bitstream Vera. DejaVu is
currently consolidating the Vera forks initiated after it become clear
Vera would not be updated or fixed any time soon
(http://www.gnome.org/fonts/ lists the last Vera release time as April
16, 2003).
The main DejaVu aims are :
1. Quality (fix all the problems of existing Vera glyphs)
2. Coverage (extend Vera beyond its Latin-9 limits: Cyrillic, Greek,
Armenian, Arabic, etc - cf attached coverage table)
Some DejaVu screenshots are available on
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-
frontend/screenshots/20060621_dejavu2.7_exp/
DejaVu is already extensively used by Debian, Ubuntu and Suse to name
some major Linux distributions.
It's being proposed as the Fedora Core 6 default font.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170218
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-June/msg00292.html
Two kinds of objections have been raised so far:
1. DejaVu big coverage and use of advanced OpenType features is
stressing the font infrastructure. The current problems were best
described by Ben Laenen here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=18518811
-> I ask you not to bring these issues up again unless
a. you wish to work with the pango team on locl,
b. help push
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2006-June/002332.html
c. or work on BASE OpenType support.
None of the issues are DejaVu specific, they all need fixing regardless
of DejaVu Fedora Core inclusion, and while DejaVu could use the fixes
it's not faring worse than any other complex font (like popular
Microsoft fonts) without them now.
2. Some people feel this big coverage was attained by sacrificing
quality. This was never the project intent. To help put this issue to
rest I ask everyone interested in crisp fonts on FOSS Desktops to:
a. Install DejaVu (yum install dejavu-fonts dejavu-fonts-experimental
dejavu-fonts-makedefault if you have the Fedora Extra repositories
configured, direct download from
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download otherwise)
b. Try it in your usual apps and report any problem you find on
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DejaVu
Problems may include:
- bad rendering in some sizes or apps
- ugly, difficult to read or missing glyphs
- bad glyph or accent spacing
If you just wish to report the font is great I'm sure the designers
would appreciate a mail to
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Dejavu-fonts_mailing_list
To help evaluate your reports please indicate your cultural background
as remarks from native speakers or professional typesetters obviously
weight more than someone commenting on foreign language rendering.
Screenshots exhibiting problems help a lot.
Reports from native speakers of non western langages would be especially
appreciated (Arabic, Armenian...)
Lastly if you don't want to bother with subscribing to the dejavu
mailing list or create a bugzilla account just send me your reports by
mail and I'll dispatch them wherever needed.
This message is being sent to Fedora and DejaVu related English mailing
lists. I do not personally follow all of them so do not forget to CC me
in your answers. Also, since I realise DejaVu support is weakest for
non-western langages, and non-western users often do not read English
lists, I'd appreciate if the various local Fedora communities translated
this message, and forwarded us a translation of their user answers.
Thank you for reading this long message and happy testing
Regards,
--

I've been asked by Rahul Sundaram to wikify the message.
Here is the english version:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts/DejavuFeedbackCall
And here is one translation:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/fr_FR/Polices/EvaluezDejavu
I'll try to work with the Fedora Ambassadors now to spread the word. Any
assistance from the translators (producing a local version of the
message, relaying it to local Fedora lists and forums) would be deeply
appreciated.
The font designers would especially appreciate testing by Arabic and
Armenian speakers

You can take a look to the translation of Gnome into French:
http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.14/fr/index.html
Also, you can ask the Gnome French translators if they are having the
same problem as you.
Hope this helps!

Is there a list of the deprecated packages that should not be
translated? Didn't find one in the wiki, and the fedora account system
does not show deprecated packages.
If there is such a list, it should be added in the QSTG. If no, how can
we produce one to put it on the wiki?

As far as I know deprecated packages are:
anaconda-help
printconf
rhn-applet
system-config-mouse
system-config-packages
system-config-proc
system-logviewer
up2date
I think these modules should be removed from CVS.

Hello,
I'm already using DejaVu exclusively on Debian system for few months,
and it looks OK. I haven't tested it yet on Fedora, but will try soon.
For Malay language, it will not create any problem because Malay
language use standard ASCII characters, either ISO and UTF-8 will do.

Subject: Translation FAQ needs update; CVS commands are erroneous.
Message-ID: <1152099314.28835.19.camel@localhost>
Hi All,
There are some important typos in the Translation FAQ, CVS section.
Specifically, it says that
====
Q: I have a working account, How do I ceckout the files from cvs
server?
Open a terminal and issue following commands:
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ export CVSROOT=:ext:@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
$ cvs -z9 co translate
Q: What is the CVSROOT to check out the translation files?
CVSROOT=:ext:@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
====
You will notice that the CVSROOT command do not specify the username.
Why is that? Well, in the HTML code of the page you will notice
CVSROOT=:ext:@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
Firefox does not display the segment as it considers it as
an unknown tag.
Therefore, the above fragment of the FAQ should look like (HTML code):
====================
Q: I have a working account, How do I checkout the files from cvs
server?
Open a terminal and issue following commands:
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ export CVSROOT=:ext:<your_login>@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
$ cvs -z9 co translate
Q: What is the CVSROOT to check out the translation files?
CVSROOT=:ext:<your_login>@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
=====================
It's good to fix this issue as it might give pain to new translators.
Thanks for A S Alam for helping out here.

(thank you Piotr)
If this list is correct, this files should be removed ASAP. There are
other teams that work hard, and (judging to my personal feelings) have a
great pride over their work. I just saw there are three teams with 0-0
translations. Well done guys! I hope I will join you for official release
of FC6 :)
Some other thingies should be introduced. Mainly notification to
translator when a module is updated with new lines. I've almost missed few
modules over last month.
Also, few weeks back by some fluke an old version of (Croatian)
translation was reinstated. Almost missed that one as well.
What about switching to SVN? I've been using it for KDE, and it looks to
me that it offers better control over revisions. Bare in mind, I'm no
expert - just a plain enduser :)
Any other suggestions?

oh no.. I belong to one such 0-0 teams. Unfortunately,
we have not uploaded our files (only 3 in no still).
We are a new team (kn_IN) and were just testing the
stuff we had translated. One among them was
anaconda_help. It is slightly discouraging to hear
that it wont be of much help apart from building the
dictionary. At least we got to know that. Thanks for
letting us know the same Renato Pavi?i?‡.

No problem, in fact you better thank Dimitris Glezos. He pulled up the
quiestion that brought whole discussion up, and Piotr "Raven" for clearing
it up.
Now we have to push up with requests to move out deprecated packages.
Unles they still have some use?
Anybody has idea on that?
Btw (OT-personal), that's Kannada India, wright? Where excatelly is this
language spoken? Is that native name of your language (asking cause
Croatian is Hrvatski in my language, and I'm having trouble translating
Kannada into Croatian. Still no oficial transaltion, but there are rule to
either use local name or native name, not english name for language) Sorry
for being ignorant :] But I'm eager to learn, and I don't want to repeat
mistakes when somebody thinks two languages are the same, just cause they
sound alike to a complete stranger!
And good luck with your work!

yes, 16 August 2006 is freeze date for Translation
(check http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N)
and try to complete Essential module first (minimum, so that your
language could be released)
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/GUI
and also don't forgot to check, whether FONT package for your language
is available in Fedora

oh, sorry, but please try to Translate "Essential" Module first
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/GUI
and I think there is no Kannada Fonts are available in Fedora,
so, you can leave Anaconda package also, if fonts are not available,
then no meaning that
Installation will be in kn_IN,
and Please commit your translation to Fedora, so that those can be
build with package, if there is any change in translation, you can update
any time.
Umesh, please keep up your effort and we would like to see Kannada on
support list this time:)

I think also rhpl (superseded by rhplx) and system-switch-im (not in
Core any more, moved to Extras since FC3, don't know if translations
from CVS make it there eventually?)

Aren't some of these still relevant for RHEL? Unless paid RH
developers are translating these, it would be a shame just removing
everything not in Core from CVS. Maybe have a clearer reorganisation
of modules into essential/FC/FE/RHEL (e.g. Gnome CVS style)?

oh I guess we are headed for more work then. Being a
novice I dont want to pump the list with silly
questions. I will do a good reading of the whole stuff
and get back with questions if I have any. Aalam,
thanks for that piece of information on non available
fonts.

sure, we will do so henceforth.

Hi
i checked out release-notes from cvs and i finally found that "about
fedora" menu entry resides in there.
So there are two files: about-fedora.xml and about-fedora.menu
Is these files covered by the usual translation procedure covered by
Translation Quick Start Guide?
I think no.
So in which way translators can localize this document and add the
appropriate localized menu entry?

Is there any guide on how one should translate the release notes/beats?
If not, could someone please write the steps one should follow?
I know the situation with Beats, moin-to-xml export and relevant stuff
are experimental, probably temporary and fragile, but there *should* be
a way for translators to have more than some days to translate the
14.000-long release notes text.

Would you mind terribly putting these on the Wiki in our queue page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/PublishQueue
When they're approved, the editor/checker can fill in their name as
well. I (and many other publishers) see all the wiki commits there, so
we'll know when it's done, and can publish it promptly.

I've asked that this be added manually to
http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status instead of using the Fedora
Documentation CVS.
I have received no response about this.
In the meantime, we'll get this file made part of the Makefile so that
we can generate the PO file.

Ok, as the Jargon Buster and the Translation Quick Start Guide
appeared "automatically", I thought it was some semi-automatic process.

This PublishQueue is a short-term work around until the CMS is in place.
We were not hearing about too many ready-to-publish documents, so I
implemented the work around process.
Publishing is still currently manual, and isn't very fun. :-D

It is the same as translating any other document.

Currently it is much shorter than that, I hope. :)
We are experimenting with new tools for Wiki -> XML, but there are no
plans to abandon the Wiki as the _source_ for untranslated content.
We'll continue working in XML for translation and publishing.
We are also several days behind schedule[1] to get PO files published
for translations to appear in the ISO this coming week. For this, I am
responsible and again apologize for the delay. We had high goals for
this release, and unfortunately are falling a little short.
If all goes well, I'll announce PO files tonight. Anyone who is
available can translate them for this coming week.

Some of the wording in the schedule was confusing. Can you look at the
schedule again and see if it makes more sense?
The key is the "Wiki snapshot". We give ourselves 24 hours to convert
to XML. This week it is taking longer to go from the Wiki to XML
(several days). :(
This means that there is not a chance to start translating before the
"Relnotes frozen for translators" on the schedule; that is when the XML
and PO files are first available.

This are questions that are going to matter when going from test2 ->
test3. None of the content from FC5 is relevant, although there may be
some exceptions if a beat writer retains something.
As we get closer to the release, some content is added, some is changed.
We do want to collect some how-tos/tips for translators for keeping
translated strings where there have been no changes.

of. Perhaps you can help write such a page at

Subject: Script to merge .po files
Message-ID: <1152382882.2363.22.camel@axp2600>
Hello,
Since we from Brazilian Portuguese Translation Team had problems to
merge out of date .po files, our friend Diego B?rigo Zacar?o came up
with this
script to merge them with all .pot ones. We are using this script to
check weekly the real status of our translation and to update the
language files.
We know that it happens with other languages too, so we decided to
translate it to English and make it available for all the translators.
Feel free to
modify and make it better.

We now have a small delay for translation of release notes, as the
master schedule has fallen back by one week.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule
The PO files are going to be available by 23:59 UTC 11 July Tuesday.
Due date for PO files to be included in the ISO is 17 July Monday 23:59
UTC.
Due date for inclusion on the Web only release of the notes is 24 July.

As I've already mentioned in the report for bug #170218, the DejaVu
fonts give a more consistent look & feel to FC localised for Serbian
Cyrillic as well, and we would be very happy to endorse them and have
them as the default font in FC.
If the DejaVu ambassadors are interested, I can provide off the list
some screenies of the FC5 default Serbian Cyrillic desktop with some
problems and the improvements after DejaVu.

As one of the oldest DejaVu designers, Danilo ?egan, is Serbian I sure
hope so ;)
Can you see with Simos if you fit in his grand DejaVu endorsement plan?

I don't think it's necessary, but maybe Simos will disagree.

It's good to put your sign of approval on this page as Cyrillic

It's a mostly British usage that means the cluster has reached a state
of quorum. Quorum, in case you didn't know, means enough machines are
participating in the cluster that it can safely become active. (In
other words, quorate is sort of an adjectival form for quorum.) We
usually apply the word "quorum" to meeting, to indicate that enough
deciding or voting members are present for a body of people to hold the
meeting, or take action.
If there's no direct translation, you could also translate this from
equivalent English:
"...but cluster has not reached quorum."
"...until cluster reaches quorum..."
Hope this helps.

Depending on the languages for translation it may be easier to think of
"enough members are present"

Message-ID: <1152657385.7064.79.camel@erato.phig.org>
We are working on the XML conversion with new tools right now. Our
current estimate is another 1.5 hours of work, which would make the PO
files available in CVS about 2 hours late.
I'll send another update when we know more.

The release notes are ready for translation. We apologize for the delay
(about 14 hours) as we work through new processes.
The new POT file is found at:
cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/docs/release-notes/devel/po/RELEASE-NOTES.pot
The files in devel/ (and the docs-common module) have been tagged in CVS
with "ready-for-translation-FC6-test2".
If you have any questions, fedora-docs-list is probably the best place
to ask.

This was done. The RELEASE-NOTES.pot file now contains the strings from

Subject: IRC Meeting (#freedesktop@Freenode) tomorrow Friday, 14Jul06,
20:00 GMT: Fonts; choosing fonts; fonts.conf; fontconfig
Message-ID: <1152820168.30920.66.camel@localhost>
Dear All,
I would like to announce an IRC meeting that will take place tomorrow
Friday, 14th July 2006, at 20:00 GMT, at #freedesktop on Freenode (IRC).
To find the exact local time for your country, see
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2006&month=7&day=14&hour=20&min=0&sec=0
For example, if you are in Paris, the meeting is on Friday at 10:00pm.
If you are in Asia/Australia, it will probably be inconvenient. Please
mail me about it. If there is enough interest (>5 e-mails), we can
arrange a repeat meeting. Tell me what time is suitable for you. This is
particularly important for Indic/CJK/etc font issues.
The expected duration is 1 hour. Based on interest and support, we may
arrange extra sessions.
The agenda includes:
1. discussion on basic issues on fonts; font licenses;
2. building a list of 'desirable' FLOSS fonts for each language/script;
tell us your preference; promote your preference
3. build an 'optimal' fonts.conf file (+ suggest
snippets for fonts.d/); LSB common font repository
4. discuss the proposed fontconfig patch for granular font selection,
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2006-June/002332.html
5. discuss on writing a patch for fontconfig to disregard glyphs from
fonts in a very low level (as if the font did not have those glyphs in
the first place)
The webpage of this discussion is at
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fFonts_2fConfiguration
The discussion (irclog) will be saved at the above URL as well.
Extra reading
1. Call to test the DejaVu fonts
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts/DejavuFeedbackCall
2. The Open Font License (OFL) by SIL International
http://scripts.sil.org/OFL
3. Fonts page on the Freedesktop Wiki
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fFonts
4. OpenFonts page on the Ubuntu Wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenFonts
5. Fonts management

6. Font issues across distros
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts/FontMusings
7. Enhancing pango/fontconfig to help solve font issues
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=18518811
8. re: fontconfig support to exclude glyphs from fonts
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2006-June/002332.html
9. Open source casts new mold for type design (recent font article)
http://news.com.com/2102-7344_3-6092398.html?tag=st.util.print
A similar IRC meeting took place last week, on input methods and
multilingual writing support in Xorg; the discussion is available at
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/KeyboardInputDiscussion
Please forward this announcement where you feel appropriate.
Hope to see you tomorrow,

Subject: Unifont.org's Font Playground wants sample text in your language
Message-ID: <1152832303.30920.96.camel@localhost>
Hi All,
Ed Trager, http://www.unifont.org/, created the Font Playground
(currently beta),
http://retina.ophthy.med.umich.edu/fontplayground/
that allows you to display text in your language, even
if your browser does not have the necessary fonts.
This is useful for the testing of how your language looks, especially if
it requires complex scripts.
If there are interesting texts in your language (proverbs, a pangram,
etc) that you feel it could be added to the list, please contact Ed to
add them.
His e-mail address can be found at http://www.unifont.org/
at the bottom of the page.
Unifont.org is known primarily for the list of FLOSS fonts and the quick
primer on Unicode.

Hi all,
I'm currently on holiday and think I won't make it; just wanted to tell you
that IMO irc meetings are always very useful... so count me as if I were taking
part.
I'll foreward the message to debian-i18n and pkg-fonts-devel in case anyone were interested
ciao,
Davide

Beautiful!
This is wonderful to see.
Team -- working together, we can get release notes and About Fedora
translated for the FC6 release. These notes are the first thing a user
sees when starting Firefox in a new installation. Seeing them in your
own language is going to be great.
You can join this growing list of contributors who make the Fedora Core
release notes the *best* Linux release notes:

I look forward to working with you.

Hi,
Thanks for Rel notes! This way I can translate with more ease.
Question: Is ther a possibility to put other documentation into status

they have on KDE site.
This would be very, very helpful cos I don't have too much free time, and
iti is easier for to translate PO file and check it out. (I'm no great
programmer, and I have some trouble with xml files)(and no time to study
that).
This way I could use sam eprocedure for all files.

Hello Renato
Yes we are planning for make available as PO files and
(PO files are already available for Documents, but under different
server and account system)
we are under plan to make available to Single repository, so that
Translation can be done with single Account, whether it is GUI or
documentation
let see what we can get from future:)
with regards

Bringing this up again, since I got frustrated (again) today while
trying to understand how to organise an efficient translation procedure
for the release-notes.
O/H Karsten Wade ??????:

As I see it, much of the content is relevant and needs not
re-translation. Probably the best way for a translator to save time is
to translate one relnotes document (say, test2) and then put his
translations in the tranlation memory and fuzzy-translate the next .po.

For this to work effiently, we could clarify to the translators which
strings/sections are most likely to be edited and which are most likely
not to change until the release (like, say, section titles).
This way, the translation could start earlier than the FC6 release
freeze, by translating the not-likely-to-be-changed strings.

Karsten, I am very confused on how the whole release-notes production
procedure and I can't create such a page. I can help though after one
who understands the procedure add some content.
Sure, the .po creation procedure is not yet fixed. But, at least a
document describing how and why each .po was created, would really help
us to understand how things work and how to organize the translation. I
am sure I am not the only translator confused about all these .po files
that change all the time and duplicate each other's content.
(Even devel/en_US release-notes compilation with `make html` fails right
now due to a Kernel.xml produces an xml validation error.)
I think the work everybody is doing is great and of high quality, please
don't get me wrong. It's just that this confusion will probably result
to the relnotes not being translated for the test releases and probably
not making it for the final release either. Which is a shame. :/
We need (more) instructions on how (the relnotes specific) things work
so that we can participate. :)

Dear All,
The IRC session took place yesterday and the IRC log is available at
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fFonts_2fConfiguration
At the end of the page there is a summary that is being built; feel free
to help out summarising the session and extracting actions to do.
There was interest to have more regular font meetings, such as an IRC
channel dedicated to issues related to fonts. We are looking into
getting #fonts on Freenode. If you can help out with this (it's already
registered), it will be appreciated.
Thanks to everyone for taking part,

hi Noriko,
Name is just changed temporarily to use in 'translate' module (for
translation team), this is not decided to change in DOCS (by docs team)
when you translation is merge back to Docs, name will be ja_JP, not
'JA', please don't worry about that,
if you have any other issue, pls feel free to ask
thanks

Hi all.
Some Qs about relnotes:
1. Where should we commit the .po files for the translations of the
release notes? Inside i18n cvs or docs/devel?
2. Are the relnotes going to be published on the web or just be used in
the system (installer, browser homepage)?
3. In a system with, say, greek selected as the default language, will
the greek relnotes be shown in the system or the english ones?

Subject: Authentication Failed - Cannot take files on Fedora website
Message-ID: <1153272379.4695.31.camel@rain.brisbane.redhat.com>
Dear All,
The Fedora server for translators (http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-
status) is facing some
internal issue that users cannot "take" a file before translation.
Users will see this message:
Error
Authentication failed.
Please contact the site administrator.
Our engineers are trying their best to address this issue. If you would
like to translate a file,
please contact the mailing-list of your own language to make sure no
one's working on it.
This will reduce the risk of conflict and of course, it's for temporary.
We'll bring it back online
soon.
Best Regards,
Chester

Audrey,
At the moment, Chester and Bernd are aware that
we can't "take" the modules from fedora public site.

If you mean the timezone list, that's pulled directly from
/usr/share/zoneinfo, which is part of the tzdata package.

Subject: IRC Meeting #2 (##fonts@Freenode) on Tuesday, 1/Aug/06, 12:00
UTC-GMT/Zulu: Font availability; font licensing; selecting fonts
Message-ID: <1154176485.5340.37.camel@localhost>
Dear All,
I would like to announce that there will be an IRC meeting on Tuesday, 1st August 2006, to
discuss issues about fonts for free and open-source software.
The agenda includes
1. discussion on availability of free & open-source fonts for different scripts/languages.
2. discussion on free & open-source font licenses; importance to converge to a common license.
3. consult users from Asia for the local preference of fonts.
The meeting takes place on Tuesday, 1st August 2006, at 12:00 UTC (GMT/Zulu).
This is morning for the US, early in the afternoon for Europe and afternoon/evening for Asia/Australia.
Visit
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2006&month=8&day=1&hour=12&min=0&sec=0
to view the exact time for your area.
The meeting takes place on IRC, at the Freenode network, on channel ##fonts.
Notice the channel name, it is "##fonts", with two pound signs. Unfortunatelly,
the channel with one pound sign has already been registered for non-free font discussions.
If you have not used IRC before, you can use the IRC client "XChat"
that is provided with your Linux distribution. You can also install XChat for Windows.
XChat is also available from http://www.xchat.org/
For more, please see
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fFonts_2fConfiguration
The discussion logs will be made available after the meeting, at
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fFonts_2fConfiguration
Fonts are very important to distributions, desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, etc),
as well as to individual cross-platform applications. The end-user
would typically blame the application if the fonts do not appear well.
At the same time, the process of choosing suitable fonts for different
languages and scripts is complex enough for a single project to handle.
At the same time I would like to announce that there is interest
to have more regular discussions on IRC on issues pertaining to fonts.
Therefore, if you would like to discuss free and open-source fonts,
feel free to pop by ##fonts on Freenode.
Feel free to forward this announcement to other relevant lists.
Thanks,
Simos
