[Debian-in-workers] Bug#404692: ttf-devanagari-fonts: requesting new fonts

[Tom Soderlund]

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.
