scholars

Shobhika is a free, open source, Unicode compliant, OpenType font with
support for Devanāgarī, Latin, and Cyrillic scripts. It is available in two
weights—regular and bold. The font is designed with over 1600 Devanāgarī
glyphs, including support for over 1100 conjunct consonants, as well as
vedic accents. The project has been launched under the auspices of the
Science and Heritage Initiative (SandHI) at IIT Bombay
<https://github.com/Sandhi-IITBombay/Shobhika/blob/master/www.iitb.ac.in>,
and builds upon the following two fonts for its Devanāgarī and Latin
components respectively: (i) Yashomudra
<https://github.com/RajyaMarathiVikasSanstha/Yashomudra> by Rājya Marāṭhī
Vikās Saṃsthā <https://rmvs.maharashtra.gov.in>, and (ii) PT Serif
<https://fonts.google.com/specimen/PT+Serif> by ParaType
<http://www.paratype.com>.

 - how do you plan to maintain it? inside a packaging team
   (check list at https://wiki.debian.org/Teams)? are you
   looking for co-maintainers? do you need a sponsor?
