Change bundled Raleway font from TTF to OTF

[xavierba]

Hi,

While looking at unbundling the Raleway font from Sympa for Fedora/EPEL package, I noticed the bundled version is TTF, while the Fedora provided version is OTF. I filed a bug at Fedora [1] to get the TTF version packaged, but it turned out OTF fonts are preferred over TTF [2] and thus the request was denied. Upstream for Raleway also has dropped support for TTF in later (not yet stable) releases of the font [3].
Also, it's seems the font was not updated since it was imported in Sympa 3 years ago [4] while upstream has updated it [5]. The font would need to be refreshed from [6].

Thanks,
Xavier

I suppose the browsers are just fine with OTF?

[xavierba]

It works fine for me in Firefox, and my understanding is otf is similar enough to ttf to not induce any issue, but you have a valid point, I'll check with Chromium and try to find others to test with (but won't be able to test on anything IE, Edge or whatever the poor^W windows/mac users are suffering from^W^W^Wusing).

I think: As browsers supporting only TTF may provide poor support for web fonts, they should be omitted. In short, OTF is sufficient.

I would volunteer to do a brief test on Mac OS, iOS and Windows browsers as long somebody could provide me with a testing installation of Sympa using OpenType fonts.

The fix by xavierba will be included in the next beta, 6.2.25b.1.

@qosobrin and all, thanks for testing! Is there any problem? If it looks nothing, I’ll close this issue.
