Created attachment 10923 [details] A tarball with the needed ttf files. Please install the attached Hebrew fonts so that they will be available for SVG rendering. All the fonts are from the Culmus Project [1]. Their license is GPL2. Thank you. [1] http://culmus.sourceforge.net/
A similar request is bug 38299 - " Installation of Computer Modern Unicode font family for SVG rendering" Note Ubuntu does provide a culmus package, though according to Amir it does not provide all the needed fonts. $ apt-cache search culmus culmus - Type1 Hebrew Fonts for X11 culmus-fancy - Type1 Fancy Hebrew Fonts for X11
Culmus package versions: - Lucid : 0.101 - Precise: 0.120 - Quantal: 0.121
I'd prefer if you would install the entire free font pack, taken from the open siddur project [1]. attached 18 free Hebrew fonts. [1] http://opensiddur.org/2010/07/unicode-compliant-and-open-source-licensed-hebrew-fonts/

I know this project, but I didn't know that they made a package, too. Thank you, Matanya.
Note that I am pretty sure ops will want to use a Debian/Ubuntu package to deploy the font on the production servers.
Ok, I found a packager and a maintainer. Hopefully it will be packaged in the coming days. It has 60 fonts, not 18.
Awesome, make sure to follow up with the WMF operations folks :)
I packaged it. bug#39324 has the link to the deb.

The link is: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2k2TQQ0f0dqQ3A3UzFDbk8zcEk I'm not sure if this package will work, since the files are in a strange directory layout with spaces in directory names, and there are no /etc/fonts/conf.d configuration files.

Antoine, how do we get this to move forward from here on?
(In reply to comment #12) > Antoine, how do we get this to move forward from here on? I am not sure, that is definitely an ops thing but they barely look at bugzilla AFAIK :D I have added `culmus` to the list of packages to be installed on our Apaches: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/21588
Gerrit change #21588 has been merged. Package culmus is now installed on image scalers: $ dsh -M -g image_scalers dpkg --get-selections culmus srv224: culmus install srv223: culmus install srv222: culmus install srv221: culmus install srv220: culmus install srv219: culmus install $
Change 86855 had a related patch set uploaded by Matanya: (bug 38946) : Added culmus-fancy font to help render svg https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/86855
Change 86855 merged by ArielGlenn: (bug 38946) : Added culmus-fancy font to help render svg https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/86855
Two hebrew fonts are now installed. This should be enough for the time-being. Please reopen if other free fonts packages are available and can be installed.
