Thank you Daniel Glassey & Paul Wise.
Firstly, I supposed that the "sil" just describes that the fonts are
licensed under SIL License.
About the name, is it okay if just fonts-carakan? Since it is actually
containing several fonts not just one. I have asked the original author
about the packaging to Debian/Ubuntu, and he said okay and gave me
permision to do that.
FYI, even in Windows 8.1, the "Tuladha Jejeg" font is renamed to
"Javanese Text".
More suggestions and help are welcome. and I look forward to it.
