Package: wnpp Version N/A; reported 2018-07-20 Severity: wishlist Greetings,
My team at SIL-NRSI has released a font not in Debian, Alkalami, that I would like to package for Debian. Package name : fonts-sil-alkalami Version : 1.100 Upstream Author : SIL NRSI <fo...@sil.org> URL : https://software.sil.org/alkalami/ License : OFL-1.1 Section : fonts Description : Font for Arabic-based writing systems in the Kano region Alkalami is the local word for the Arabic "qalam", a type of sharpened stick used for writing on wooden boards in the Kano region of Nigeria and in Niger, and what gives the style its distinct appearance. The baseline stroke is very thick and solid. The ascenders and other vertical strokes including the teeth are very narrow when compared to the baseline. A generous line height is necessary to allow for deep swashes and descenders, and the overall look of the page is a very black, solid rectangle. Diacritics are much smaller in scale, with very little distance from the main letters. This font supports the characters known to be used by languages written with the Kano style of Arabic script, but may not have the characters needed for other languages. This font utilizes state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex typographic issues. Font smarts are implemented using OpenType only. We have no current plans to support Graphite. Two fonts are included in this release: * Alkalami Regular * Alkalami Light Regular It builds those binary packages: fonts-sil-alkalami - Arabic script font for the Kano region To access further information about this font, please visit the following URL: https://software.sil.org/alkalami/ Fabian Greffrath or Daniel Glassey can sponsor this package.
