A quick search for samples led me to https://fontinfo.opensuse.org/fonts/NotoSansGujaratiRegular.html and https://fontinfo.opensuse.org/fonts/NotoSerifGujaratiRegular.html which (especially when zoomed in and comparing the largest samples) show slight difference e.g. in the "middle" glyf (to me looking like an elefant at a lake with a candle on its head...) Which is best I cannot tell.

Seems the bold variant is already there (looks to me like the subject line is written in bold). If you are asking for a stronger bold, then... yes you can have that as well: Currently only main weights (Regular, Bold) are packaged, and Gujarati Serif (but not Gujarati Sans) has more variants (ExtraLignt, Light, Thin, Medium, ExtraBold, Black). Tell me if needed, else I perfer to prioritize other tasks than packaging those (as I prefer to package it all at once - across all regions, not only Gujarati). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
