[Pkg-fonts-devel] Building fonts-okolaks from source

[Vasudev Kamath]

Hi Gurkan,

I'm looking on how fonts-okolaks source package was really created in
the first place. I see that we have 0.5 version of font and upstream
provides 0.6 which is Licensed as SIL OFL (where as Debian lists it as
GPL).

We detect that fonts-okolaks fails to build from fontforge in
experimental. ¹ I was doing some investigation and found that it
actually fails to build with current fontforge also but it fails
silently.

I was trying to improve this package but I do not know how the package
was created in fist place. Upstream ships ttf files so how was sfd
created in the package?. Did you request for the sfd files from the
author of font?.

If you can answer these question it will be easier to sort out this
package.
