Hello. liberation-fonts-1.07 includes Liberation Sans Narrow, which was removed in 2.00. Please bring back 1.07.4 so people can use this font. I don't mind if it stays ~arch forever.
CC @johu as he delivered the finishing blow.
(In reply to Coacher from comment #1) > CC @johu as he delivered the finishing blow. I am in the fonts@g.o alias no need to cc me. I will keep the bug open and see how much interest exists, but there are other options instead of bringing back an outdated version: a) Ask upstream if they are willing to bring the font style in a future release b) Maintain the old version in an overlay

Due to quality complaints [2] with 2.00 it is sadly not a viable replacement. Last time I looked Red Hat were still shipping 1.07.4 and not 2.00 in Fedora due to that. > a) Ask upstream if they are willing to bring the font style in a future release It was removed due to licensing so that is unlikely. Apparently there is (was?) no OFL-licensed Sans Narrow available [3] so if you want that 1.07.4 is likely still needed.
