Description Andy Dustman 2005-02-22 06:55:13 UTC
This is a very nice collection of fonts (TTF) used for rock band logos. Good for graphic design. Ebuild will be attached.

Some notes on the ebuild:

It is not clear from the website what license, if any, should be applied. Each
font could have different licensing restrictions.

A few of the font zip files could not be included in the ebuild because they
have spaces in the file names. Portage is able to download these fine because
the URLs have the spaces encoded as %20, but after they are downloaded, Portage
can't find them, because it looks for the URL-encoded name. That is, it (or
rather, wget) downloads "St.%20Anger%20%28Large%29.zip" to "St. Anger
(Large).zip", but Portage still looks for "St.%20Anger%20%28Large%29.zip" in
the filesystem.

Original source site is down, possibly forever, which will make it somewhat
difficult to maintain this ebuild.
Comment 3 Andy Dustman 2006-01-19 07:38:36 UTC
I think the site's permanently dead, so I'm cancelling the bug.
