So what should be new package names?. Tell me from below which sounds correct. fonts-fantasque-noloopk-sans-ttf or fonts-fantasque-sans-noloopk-ttf Basically fonts-fantasque-[variant]-sans-[type] or fonts-fantasque-sans-[variant]-[type] Let me know which sounds correct. For me second one seems correct, but I'm open to suggestion.
