Bug#942605: ITP: fonts-sil-mingzat - Unicode font for the Lepcha script



Package: wnpp
Version N/A; reported 2019-10-18
Severity: wishlist

Greetings,

My team at SIL-WSTech (formally NRSI) has released a font not in Debian,
Mingzat, that I would like to package for Debian.

Package name    : fonts-sil-mingzat
Version         : 1.000
Upstream Author : SIL WSTech <fonts@sil.org>
URL             : https://software.sil.org/mingzat/
License         : OFL-1.1
Section         : fonts
Description     : Unicode font for the Lepcha script

Mingzat is based on Jason Glavy's JG Lepcha font which was a custom
encoded font. We have used his design with his generous permission. He
also agreed to allow the font to be released under the SIL Open Font
License (OFL).

The goal for this product was to provide a single Unicode-based font
that would contain all Lepcha characters. In addition, there is
provision for other Latin characters and symbols. This font makes use of
state-of-the-art font technologies (Graphite and OpenType) to support
the need for conjuncts and to position arbitrary combinations of Lepcha
glyphs and combining marks optimally.

One font from this typeface family is included in this release:

     * Mingzat Regular

It builds those binary packages:

fonts-sil-mingzat - Unicode font for the Lepcha script

To access further information about this font, please visit the
following URL:

Fabian Greffrath or Daniel Glassey can sponsor this package.

Regards,
Bobby
