Package: wnpp Version N/A; reported 2020-06-16 Severity: wishlist Greetings,
My team at SIL-WSTech has released a font not in Debian, Akatab, that I would like to package for Debian. Package name : fonts-sil-akatab Version : 1.000 Upstream Author : SIL WSTech <fo...@sil.org> URL : https://software.sil.org/akatab/ License : OFL-1.1 Section : fonts Description : Akatab is a Unicode font for rendering Tifinagh characters in the Tamahaq and Tamashek languages Akatab ("writing") is designed to reflect a handwriting style and even the "writing in sand" effect. This Character Inventory document demonstrates the characters that are included in the font. This font uses state-of-the-art OpenType and Graphite font technologies to provide accurate typography including the formation of bi-consonant ligatures. Variations of characters are included in the font to meet personal and regional preferences. Documentation included with the font package will show these variants and how to access them. Historically this writing system has been written in both right-to-left and left-to-right orientations. Akatab has the necessary characters and technical features to write in both directions. Inclusion of basic Latin repertoire is provided as a convenience, e.g., for use in menus or for displaying markup in text files. This font is not intended for extensive Latin script use. The Tifinagh block was first added to Unicode 4.1 and subsequently amended up through Unicode 6.1. See the latest code chart. It builds those binary packages: fonts-sil-akatab - Arabic script font for the Kano region To access further information about this font, please visit the following URL: https://software.sil.org/akatab/ Fabian Greffrath or Daniel Glassey can sponsor this package.
