Just had a quick discussion with Christian over IRC, so sharing just
thoughts it looks like upstream is dead? I had to download the archive
using wayback machine (archive.org). Is it really required to maintain a
font whose upstream is not active?
 
Btw I've package almost ready only needs fixing the copyright file if
its needed I will push it to pkg-fonts repo and Christian or you can
upload it.

Warm Regards
