[Pkg-fonts-devel] Standardizing the names of the font packages

[Christian PERRIER]

Quoting Rogério Brito (rbrito at ime.usp.br):

 * the second part of the names of the fonts seem to include the maker (I

aka "foundry", yes.

>   maker is well known (say, ttf-bitstream-vera), but that's not always
>   the case: see ttf-thai-arundina.
> 
>   It would be desirable to have the names of the font packages in the
>   form format-maker-name[-extra], where the part enclosed in brackets
>   would say some extra information.
