#
# Important notes regarding the package:
# ======================================
# This package contains 35 fonts defined as PostScript Level 2 Core Font Set:
# > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript_fonts#Core_Font_Set
#
# This package is the replacement for previous 'urw-fonts' package (obsolete now).
#
# However, there are currently several issues that needed to be adressed:
# 1) This font set is owned by company (URW)++ [https://www.urwpp.de/en/], but
# the company Artifex Software [http://www.artifex.com/] has negotiated with
# (URW)++ the Open Source release of several fonts that (URW)++ owns, which
# can be used as Level 2 Core Font Set.
#
# Artifex Software is the owner/creator of Ghostscript software, and they use
# those fonts as part of Ghostscript's resources.
#
# However, (URW++) company does not provide any way to download those fonts.
# So right now, we are using the fonts which Artifex Software company uses
# in Ghostscript, and made available. They do not officially provide them,
# but they have become the 'de facto' standard across Linux distributions.
#
# Therefore, from now on, I will refer to Artifex Software as to 'upstream'.
#
# 2) Upstream has its own git repository for Core Font Set Level 2 sources:
# > https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/urw-base35-fonts
#
# Here you can find 4 types of files (regarding the fonts):
# *.t1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript_fonts#Type_1
# *.afm - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Font_Metrics
# *.ttf - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType
# *.otf - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType
#
# According to upstream, Ghostscript needs only Type 1 fonts to work properly.
# It can use TTF or OTF fonts as substitutions as well in case the Type 1
# fonts are missing, but the substitution is not (and can't be) guaranteed to
# be absolutely flawless, unless the fonts use the CFF outlines:
# > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript_fonts#Compact_Font_Format
#
# The AFM (Adobe Font Metrics) are useful for layout purposes of other
# applications, and they contain general font information and font metrics.
# These AFM files were distributed in the previous 'urw-fonts' package, so in
# order to avoid possible regressions in the future, we need to continue
# distributing them.
#
# However, distributing AFM files would not be possible if we would create
# this package from Ghostscript source package only. It does not contain
# these AFM files, because as stated above - Ghostscript requires only T1
# fonts. Therefore, we're using the archive with fonts provided from upstream.
#
#
# 3) The previous package 'urw-fonts' shipped the fonts in different format:
# *.pfb - Printer Font Binary (compressed Type 1 fonts, which require an
# 8-bit transmission method)
# *.pfm - Printer Font Metrics (same as *.afm files according to upstream)
#
# These formats were basically replaced with T1 and AFM formats, currently
# used by upstream.
#
# 4) (URW)++ does not have any sane versioning procedure. After reaching
# version 1.10, they returned to version 1.00. That is the reason why
# upstream switched to using git snapshot dates for versioning, and we
# are sticking to that after discussion at fedora-devel mailing list.
#
# 5) The package scheme is this:
#
# * urw-base35-fonts -- Metapackage which does not contain anything,
# but requires all its font subpackages. This
# is a wrapper package to ease-up installation
# of all fonts.
#
# * urw-base35-fonts-common -- Package that contains only the license file,
# to avoid duplication of it and to make the
# font packages size smaller.
#
# * urw-base35-[***]-fonts -- Subpackage of base35 fonts, containing only
# one font family, as required by FPG.
#
# ==========================================================================
#
# urw-base35-fonts ----- urw-base35-fonts-common
# | |
# | |
# \-- urw-base35-[***]-fonts
#
# ==========================================================================
#
# NOTE: Fedora Packaging Guidelines (FPG) requires to use OTF or TTF format:
# https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Choosing_the_right_font_format_to_package
#
# However, according to upstream, the OTF/TTF fonts cause problems
# with 'pdfwrite' if we try to use them as base35 fonts. Otherwise,
# they work fine, but according to upstream they will *never* be able
# to use OTF/TTF fonts as the base35.
#
# Since AFAIK no other package/utility requires the base35 fonts, and
# Type 1 fonts with the AFM files are necessary for ghostscript to
# function properly, this fonts package will only use these files. We
# are not shipping the OTF alongside Type 1/AFM, because that would
# approximately double the size of the packages, which is not wanted.
#
# In case the ghostscript (specifically 'pdfwrite' device) will start
# to work correctly with OTF fonts type, then we will make the switch.
