The @file{Identity/Fonts} directory exists to organize
|
|
|
4c9448 |
typographies used inside @value{TCPCVI} that aren't packaged inside
|
|
|
4c9448 |
@value{TCD}.
|
|
|
4c9448 |
|
|
|
4c9448 |
The @file{Identity/Fonts} directory is under version control.
|
|
|
4c9448 |
|
|
|
4c9448 |
Content rendition inside @file{Identity/Fonts} directory is not
|
|
|
4c9448 |
supported.

In order for fonts to be available inside programs like GIMP and
|
|
|
4c9448 |
Inkscape, font files should be stored either in
|
|
|
4c9448 |
@file{/usr/share/fonts} or @file{~/.fonts} directory. These locations
|
|
|
4c9448 |
are out of @value{TCAR} and doesn't provide version control by
|
|
|
4c9448 |
themselves. In order for version controlled typographies to be
|
|
|
4c9448 |
available inside programs like GIMP and Inkscape, we store them under
|
|
|
4c9448 |
@file{Identity/Fonts} directory and create links to them from
|
|
|
4c9448 |
@file{~/.fonts} directory.

The creation and maintenance of links related to fonts inside the
|
|
|
4c9448 |
working copy are automated by @code{prepare} functionality of
|
|

@command{centos-art.sh} script.

Inside @value{TCPCVI}, the @samp{DejaVu LGC} typography is used as
|
|
|
4c9448 |
default typography in all visual manifestations. The @samp{DejaVu LGC}
|
|
|
4c9448 |
typography comes with @value{TCD} so there is no need to store it in
|
|
|
4c9448 |
@file{Identity/Fonts} for you to use.
|

Inside @value{TCPCVI}, the @samp{Denmark} typography is used as base
|
|
|
4c9448 |
to build The CentOS Logo (i.e., the main graphic design that
|
|
|
4c9448 |
connects/identifies all visual manifestations related to The CentOS
|
|
|
4c9448 |
Project). The @samp{Denmark} typography doesn't come with @value{TCD}
|
|
|
4c9448 |
so it is store in @file{Identity/Fonts} for you to use.
|
|
|
4c9448 |
|
|
|
4c9448 |
The license information of @samp{Denmark} typography isn't very clear,
|
|
|
4c9448 |
at least not as clear as the one in @samp{DejaVu LGC} typography is.
|
|
|
4c9448 |
Using a typography with a doubtful license might put in risk the
|
|
|
4c9448 |
content produced from it. To prevent such issues, it would be better
|
|
|
4c9448 |
to move on from @samp{Denmark} typography to another typography (free,
|
|
|
4c9448 |
preferably) that retain the same visual style of @samp{Denmark}, but
|
|
|
4c9448 |
with a clearer copyright and license notice.
