RHEA-2009:0968 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An updated ttfonts-zh_CN package that splits Zhong Yi Font into individual
fonts-chinese-zysong package is now available.

Description

The ttfonts-zh_CN package provides the Simplified Chinese TrueType Font,
and bitmap fonts.

• this package formerly included the Zhong Yi Song TrueType font. The

copyright in this font belongs to Beijing Zhong Yi Electronics Co., which
has licensed Red Hat Inc. to distribute the font only in products and
software under the Red Hat name. The inclusion of this font in
ttfonts-zh_CN would therefore preclude Red Hat from freely distributing
this package. The Zhong Yi Song TrueType font is still available to Red Hat
customers via the Red Hat Network and the Supplementary CD in the
fonts-chinese-zysong package.

Users who need Chinese support for their system are advised to upgrade to
this updated package which resolves this issue.

Solution

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
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
