Hi!

Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community.

Is this causing some side effects?

We also have 400 called regular instead of normal

Hi,

The reason is that we need to patch this kind of stuff when packaging it for Fedora (and surely other distros).

Best

Thanks.

Could you please clarify further?

• Is this something only related to the name of output OTF files?
• Why this does not apply to 400 normal that we call regular?

[Fale]

While I was packaging it for Fedora, I had to work around the 900 and not the others, probably because normal for 400 is somehow managed by Linux. To make it work "as expected", I found myself compiling this: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fontawesome-fonts/blob/18a566dc88883e9837ba3679fd4093795c47ab98/f/fontawesome-fonts-fontconfig.conf (more specifically lines 26 to 39).

Grazie @Fale

I think that your solution is the way to go for this use case. Since the configuration file you provided instructs the machine on how to handle otf files, I would preserve the current names. Font Awesome 5 Free-Solid-900.otf is in my opinion much clearer for the end user than Font Awesome 5 Free-Black-900.otf.

Anyway, those are just my thoughts, let's ask @robmadole how to proceed
