* Someone called my name ;-) [yes, I'm the slow Hebrew l10n coordinator]
* Historically the Culmus project distributed its fonts as:
- Culmus (the regular fonts you just re-packaged)
- Culmus fancy fonts. Extra free fonts. They are currently
still packaged as: fonts-hebrew-fancy-0.20051122-4.fc10.noarch
- Lately they added a third category -- Ancient fonts (for ancient
Semitic scripts).
All these are linked from: http://culmus.sourceforge.net/
[it's a bit confusing as the normal "Download" links of sourceforge
only lead you to the "regular" Culmus fonts]
* Some of the fancy fonts are unique. E.g: the "Ktav-Yad" is the only
free "hand-writing" font in Hebrew.
* As for naming:
- For consistency to end users, i think the fonts in the "fancy"
category should be named just like the other Culmus fonts.
Example: culmus-ktav-yad-fonts
and not: culmus-fancy-ktav-yad-fonts.
[the split to "fancy" was done for economy (bandwidth) reasons
not really functional ones].
- Of course we can group the "fancy" ones via a meta-package that
requires each of them. But I don't think it worth the trouble
and it may confuse people to think it's yet another font from
this collection.
- We can add the "Ancient" ones in this go (if you have time for this)
But IMO their name should contain "ancient", as they actually
represent different scripts). E.g:
culmus-ancient-hebrew-paleo-gezer-fonts
What? this is getting too much. Maybe settle for:
ancient-hebrew-paleo-gezer-fonts
* For any help/rants etc., just mail me (on
