Resource updated
The “po/fr/master/pages/FontsPolicy.po” file was changed. 09/04/2025

String added in the repository
Fonts are comparatively bulky. Shipping fonts in multiple formats makes the situation worse on user systems, mirrors and live images. Every font family that ships in multiple formats, consumes space that could be used by another font package, enhancing the user experience.

String added in the repository
Building from source ensures it will be possible to modify the font when problems are reported and upstream is not responsive. Sometimes that means working with upstream to sanitize its build processes.

String added in the repository
As noted in the xref:index.adoc#bundling[Packaging Guidelines], Fedora packages should make every effort to avoid having multiple, separate, upstream projects bundled together in a single package. This applies equally to font packages.

String added in the repository
Remember that a lot of upstream naming decisions are taken to accomodate systems, that are missing an automatic font substition / font merging layer. The format and coverage information in `family` names is intended to help manual selection of font files. Our guidelines ask packagers to convert those to information fontconfig understands. Free Desktop systems can do a lot more, as long as the information provided to fontconfig is correct.

The other decisions are just choosing good defaults for the font family. While fontconfig can take a guess at those, its guess will never be as accurate as packager decisions. Packagers can ask upstream for clarifications. Fontconfig can not.

String added in the repository
Removing coverage attributes from `family` enables merging all matching files in a single synthetic family. That is more user friendly, and prevents breakage when upstream decides to split the font family over different lines. Because creating a wide-coverage font family is a hard, long-term endeavour — Unicode is not finalized yet — such changes are common.

String added in the repository
Removing format attributes from `family` prevents breakage, when the technical format shipped by the distribution changes after an update. Because font technology continues to improve, format changes are bound to happen sooner or later. Applications can still request font format information via the fontconfig API if they need to.

String added in the repository
Free Desktop systems rely on multiple upstreams to provide their fonts. They are heavily dependent on fontconfig to present a consistent user-friendly font pool in applications. High quality fontconfig rules are indispensable to permit easy substitution of font families, and to mask upstream messiness.

String added in the repository
The users of this legacy backend won't thank you for destabilizing it with new fonts. They value stability. Otherwise they'd have moved to fontconfig like everyone else a long time ago.
