It has been fully hinted and a bold variant created. Project directory: https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/ofl/inconsolata/ Log: https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/ofl/inconsolata/FONTLOG.txt I have filled https://bugs.debian.org/780233 to request packaging of the fork. -- Antoine Musso -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

(Raph, this comes from a bug report in Debian bug tracking system : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=688212) Quoting Erik Bernstein (e...@fscking.org): Package: fonts-inconsolata Version: 001.010-4 Severity: normal Hi, I've noticed that in a few cases rxvt-unicode has problems with font fallback for some unicode characters with Inconsolata 1.010. You can reproduce the problem as follows: 1. open a terminal and run urxvt -fn xft:inconsolata:medium:size=12 2. execute: LANG=en_US.utf8 man groff | less -p bug-groff Have a look at the borked characters surrounding email-addresses and urls. With Inconsolata 1.011 everything seems to be fine. Sorry for answering quite late. First of all, we'll need to keep a new upstream only in experimental as of now, because a new upstream version doesn't fit the freeze policy. Still, I'd be happy to package this new upstream versionif only I could find a place to download it. I went here and there on Raph Levien's website and the links on the Inconsolata page all lead me to the 1.010 version. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi Christian, Still, I'd be happy to package this new upstream versionif only I could find a place to download it. Try google web fonts: http://www.google.com/webfonts - Search for Inconsolata - Check both styles and click Add to Collection - Click Download Your Collection This should give you 1.011. At least that's what the .ttf tells me. cheers, erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Yes, the version at Google Web Fonts is more recent and should be considered the definitive one. Note also that there's a bold there now. This will be a significant advantage to people who have bold styling as part of their syntax highlighting. I really need to update my website but I'm kind of buried in work and other things right now.

Ugh at websites that require JavaScript to function at all.

Unfortunately Google are not distributing the source, which Debian has promised to do as part of the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We will need to wait until you release it. I really need to update my website but I'm kind of buried in work and other things right now. When you update the copy on your website, would it be possible for you to create a reproducible build path with a Makefile or similar? Currently Debian is just shipping the pre-built binary .ttf file so we aren't sure if it is possible for our users to modify the font source (I guess thats the spiro plates?) and rebuild the font with their modifications. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
