Bugzilla Bug 197841

Stix fonts can be successfully installed via portage, but unfortunately the zip
file currently available for downloading isn't very convenient.  Not quite sure
how to set this up "correctly".  Making a tar.bz2 file works fine, but
obviously is not the right approach for getting the fonts "straight from the
source" so to speak.

Reproducible: Always

Ebuild for stix fonts, assuming tar.bz2 file

Ebuild for stix fonts, assuming re-packaging - should be re-worked to use the
zip file directly

Text paste of the Stix license at http://www.stixfonts.org/user_license.html

This may not be 100% correct (I know the TM characters don't show properly in
nedit) but perhaps someone can point to an "official" txt version of the stix
font license?  Or should the html be included rather than txt?

tar-bzip file, instead of the .zip file used on the stixfonts website.

Once this file is installed with this ebuild and X is restarted,
http://www.stixfonts.org/allGlyphs.html displays the characters.

Use the text in the download agreement rather than the html from the web.

Fedora is currently trying to get upstream to fix a number of things with their
packaging, including getting the licence changed to something free or at least
compatible with the OFL and providing a download url that doesn't require
click-through.  I'd like to see how they respond before going any further.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=361441 looks to me like Fedora had
stix fonts in their repository 2007-11-02. Does that mean the issues mentioned
in comment 5 are resolved and this can proceed?

they updated their license to something more free, so i have no problem adding
it.  the beta period ended Dec 15th so there should be a final release soon.

license is being changed to OFL.  ETA for release is July 08.

Added, thanks.
