Package: wnpp Version N/A; reported 2017-07-17 Severity: wishlist I had the wrong package in the previous bug. Sorry about that.
Greetings, My team at SIL-NRSI has released a font not in Debian, Awami Nastaliq, that I would like to package for Debian. Package name : fonts-sil-awami-nastaliq Version : 1.000 Upstream Author : SIL NRSI <fo...@sil.org> URL : http://software.sil.org/awami License : OFL-1.1 Section : fonts Description : Smart Unicode font for the Nastaliq script Awami Nastaliq is a Nastaliq-style Arabic script font supporting a wide variety of languages of Southwest Asia, including but not limited to Urdu. This font is aimed at minority language support. This makes it unique among Nastaliq fonts. Awami means "of the people", "of the common population" or "public". The Awami Nastaliq font does not provide complete coverage of all the characters defined in Unicode for Arabic script. Because the font style is specifically intended for languages using the Nastaliq style of southwest Asia, the character set for this font is aimed at those languages. This font makes use of state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex typographic issues. Font smarts have been implemented using Graphite only. We have no current plans to support OpenType. One font from this typeface family is included in this release: * Awami Nastaliq Regular It builds those binary packages: fonts-sil-awami-nastaliq - Nastaliq-style Arabic script font To access further information about this font, please visit the following URL: http://software.sil.org/awami/ Can a repo for the GBP packaging be created at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-fonts/ ? Daniel Glassey can sponsor this package, or Fabian Greffrath might, as he sponsored the last font I packaged, fonts-sil-annapurna. Regards, Bobby -- Bobby de Vos /bobby_de...@sil.org/
