Hi Vincent,
I just don't understand why you want to fork the stuff again. Can you
see my point 2?
fonts-gubbi or Gubbi is fork of Kedage with all modern improvements
works fine with harfbuzz and has been selected to be included into
gnu-freefont
fonts-navilu is also fork of Mallige with all modern improvement works
fine with harfbuzz.
Do you have any technical points in mind against Gubbi and Navilu to
recommend second fork?
