Package: ttf-devanagari-fonts Version: 1:0.4.7.1 Severity: wishlist Nakula and Sahadeva are "twin" Devanagari fonts, which have been developed by IMRC, India, for the University of Cambridge.
These fonts are free software; you can redistribute them and/or modify them under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. Both fonts are TrueType/OpenType, and are Unicode compliant. Both contain all the conjuncts and other ligatures (including Vedic accents) likely to be needed by Sanskritists. Nakula follows the Bombay style of Devanagari, with rounded glyphs and little thin/thick variation. Sahadeva is in the Calcutta style, with more angular glyphs and greater contrast between thin and thick strokes. The actual shapes of some of the glyphs (e.g. initial "a", retroflex "n") also differ according to the style of the font. http://bombay.indology.info/software/fonts/devanagari/index.html -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages ttf-devanagari-fonts depends on: ii defoma 0.11.10 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ttf-devanagari-fonts recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
