A new fonts package, liberation-fonts, which obsoletes the fonts-monotype
package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 9 is now available.
The Liberation Fonts are a non-proprietary, metric-compatible alternative
to three common proprietary typefaces: Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier
New.
This new package includes three typefaces:
* Sans (an alternative to Arial, Albany, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, and
Bitstream Vera Sans).
* Serif (an alternative to Times New Roman, Thorndale, Nimbus Roman, and
Bitstream Vera Serif).
* Mono (an alternative to Courier New, Cumberland, Courier, Nimbus Mono L,
and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono).
To allow for a seamless switch from the fonts-monotype package (which
included Albany, Thorndale, and Cumberland, three proprietary typefaces
with similar metrics to Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New), the
liberation-fonts package obsoletes fonts-monotype. Installing
liberation-fonts will, therefore, remove fonts-monotype.
All users wanting access to non-proprietary typefaces should install this
newly-released package.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
