Bonjour,

I found out on wikipedia that the inconsolata font has been forked on 
Google Foot Directory. 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.
