Description Kevin Kofler 2013-09-13 22:08:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
SDDM bundles 2 copies of the GeosansLight.ttf font:
/usr/share/apps/sddm/themes/maldives/GeosansLight.ttf
/usr/share/apps/sddm/themes/maui/GeosansLight.ttf
in blatant violation of the Fedora font packaging guidelines.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sddm-0.2.0-0.6.20130821gite707e229.fc21

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check the package contents.

Actual results:
Bundled font (twice, even).

Expected results:
No bundled font.

Additional info:
This should have been a review blocker!

I noticed this going through the heisenbug-kde-theme review, which symlinks to that bundled font (to avoid bundling a third copy, thankfully).
Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2013-09-13 22:11:33 UTC 
In addition, the font is NOT free as in speech, only free as in beer:
http://manfred-klein.ina-mar.com/
and as such is not allowed in Fedora at all.
Comment 2 Martin Bříza 2013-09-13 22:52:55 UTC 
Fixed in rawhide, currently building: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5933556 . Will see what to do with the other branches and the upstream until Tuesday.
