Created attachment 227249 [details] pt-sans-2.003.ebuild An ebuild for the current version of PT Sans. USE="web" will additionally install font files in eot and woff formats suitable for web use. Note that ParaType only provides the latest version of the font for download (at http://www.fontstock.com/public/PTSans_OFL.zip and http://www.fontstock.com/public/PTSansWeb.zip), so Gentoo will have to rename and mirror specific versions of ParaType's zip files. To use this ebuild, download PTSans_OFL.zip and PTSansWeb.zip, rename them to PTSans_OFL-2.003.zip and PTSansWeb-2.003.zip and move to /usr/portage/distfiles To determine the font version, use fontforge or grep ("grep --binary-files=text 'Version ' *.ttf"); different .ttf files may have slightly different version numbers, I suggest using the greatest one for the version of the entire package. The current version (as of 2010-04-10) is 2.003, but this may well change by the time the ebuild is added to the tree. Created attachment 227251 [details]
90-pt-sans-no-bitmaps.conf
PT Sans fonts use embedded bitmaps for small glyph sizes. The aesthetics of those bitmaps are somewhat questionable, and this fontconfig file allows one to disable their use by "eselect fontconfig enable 90-pt-sans-no-bitmaps.conf".
Created attachment 227255 [details] one of PT Sans licenses PT Sans fonts are available under a choice of OFL-1.1 and ParaType's own "free font licensing agreement" (the English version is in the attached file); see http://community.livejournal.com/paratype/10009.html#cutid5 (in Russian) for details. what is it with font people and unversioned distfiles? :P i'm not sure about the USE flag. maybe it would be more suitable to have two packages. media-fonts/paratype, added to the tree on 13 Jan 2011, includes PT Sans. Closing as fixed. |
