https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D284597 --- Comment #4 from Zolt=C3=A1n Kir=C3=A1ly <ports@zoltankiraly.com> --- That would be ideal. Unfortunately, I'm not the maintainer of the Iosevka C= omfy port. However, the issue is that Iosevka Comfy violates the SIL license, so= it should be removed from the ports collection. Protesilaos, the author of aporetic, mentions this: QUOTE: > Legal reason for the change > =E2=80=9CIosevka=E2=80=9D is a reserved name. I had not realised this unt= il I reread the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1, specifically: > 3 No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font Name= (s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding Copy= right Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as pre= sented to the users. SOURCE: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2025-02-04-aporetic-fonts-1-0-0/ I chose not to contact the maintainer of the Iosevka Comfy port, as I was concerned he might take my suggestion to remove the port negatively. But now that you mention it, yes, it should definitely replace Iosevka Comfy, especially to avoid license issues. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
