Description : Elegant sans-serif typeface designed in a single thin weight
Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface, designed in a single thin
weight. It is a display face that features both old style and lining
numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty complete set
of diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired by more
geometric sans-serif typefaces than its neo-grotesque inspired default
character set.
This is a part of my Google Summer of Code project on packaging
elementary software for Debian, see
https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2014/Projects/PackageElementarySoftware
for more information.
Although Raleway is already provided by the texlive-fonts-extra
package, shipping it in a separate package is required to bring down
the installed size for elementary-theme combined with dependencies
from over 750Mb to under 5Mb.
I was told to create a new source package instead of splitting it into
a separate binary package, see
