| |
| The @file{trunk/Identity/Fonts} directory exists to organize |
| typographies used inside @value{TCPCVI} that aren't packaged inside |
| @value{TCD}. |
| |
| The @file{trunk/Identity/Fonts} directory is under version control. |
| |
| Content rendition inside @file{trunk/Identity/Fonts} directory is not |
| supported. |
| |
| @c -- describe, in one paragraph, what a font is. |
| |
| In order for fonts to be available inside programs like GIMP and |
| Inkscape, font files should be stored either in |
| @file{/usr/share/fonts} or @file{~/.fonts} directory. These locations |
| are out of @value{TCAR} and doesn't provide version control by |
| themselves. In order for version controlled typographies to be |
| available inside programs like GIMP and Inkscape, we store them under |
| @file{trunk/Identity/Fonts} directory and create links to them from |
| @file{~/.fonts} directory. |
| |
| @float Example, trunk-identity-fonts-1 |
| @verbatim |
| trunk/Identity/Fonts |
| `-- denmark.ttf (file) <-- ~/.fonts/denmark.ttf (link) |
| @end verbatim |
| @caption{Relation between fonts inside the workstation.} |
| @end float |
| |
| The creation and maintainance of links related to fonts inside the |
| 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 |
| default typography in all visual manifestations. The @samp{DejaVu LGC} |
| typography comes with @value{TCD} so there is no need to store it in |
| @file{trunk/Identity/Fonts} for you to use. |

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