AnjaliOldLipi is a Sans Serif TrueType font for the Malayalam language.
This is a comprehensive Malayalam font for all common Malayalam ligatures
and the Latin character set.
Meera is a TrueType font for the Malayalam language.
This is a comprehensive Malayalam font with 1000+ glyphs for all
common Malayalam ligatures.
It has carefully designed ascent, descent metrics optimized for
Malayalam script's vertically stacked conjuncts. Meera is an even
stroke typeface for better screen rendering, with individually
designed glyphs for complex conjuncts rather than using component
glyphs.
Meera is a san-serif counter part of Rachana font with all traditional
characters. It is also meant for body text like Rachana, preferably
for a pamphlet or single page designs. Usage of Meera can be thought
of similar to Helvetica typeface and its variations like Arial. Meera
Roman glyphs are visually similar to Arial but its orthography
strictly follows Meera Malayalam glyphs. Basic curves and straight
lines are taken from Malayalam ‘റ’ and ‘വ’ characters. This is why
Meera Roman glyphs differ from Helvetica but holds san-serif
characteristics and smoothly sit with its Malayalam glyphs.
Released in 2007, Meera is the default Malayalam font for many
GNU/Linux distros for Malayalam script. The font is widely used in
web as the primary choice for Malayalam screen font. The font is
available only in regular style.
The Un-fonts come from the HLaTeX as type1 fonts in 1998 by
Koaunghi Un, he made type1 fonts to use with Korean TeX
(HLaTeX) in the late 1990's and released it under the GPL
license. They were converted to TrueType with the FontForge
(PfaEdit) by Won-kyu Park in 2003. Extra families (10 fonts):
UnPen, UnPenheulim: script UnTaza: typewriter style UnBom:
decorative UnShinmun UnYetgul: old Korean printing style
UnJamoSora, UnJamoNovel, UnJamoDotum, UnJamoBatang

The package contains some Chinese font metrics (JFM, VF, etc)
for upTeX engine, together with a simple DVIPDFMx font mapping
of Fandol fonts for DVIPDFMx.
These are metrics to use existing Chinese TrueType fonts in
workflows that use LaTeX & dvipdfmx, or pdfLaTeX. The fonts
themselves are not included in the package. Six font families
are supported: kai, song, lishu, fangsong, youyuan and hei. Two
encodings (GBK and UTF-8) are supported.
cursed_font is a 9x18 bitmapped font designed for low-DPI screens. It was
originally an embiggened and monospace-ified version of Apple's Chicago font
from System 6, but it also takes inspiration from many other fonts such as
bizcat, ttyp0, tamzen, scientifica.
This is already in pkgsrc as UnifrakturMaguntia-ttf.
And I imported it there last year.
Seems I liked this font so much I thought it should be in pkgsrc twice!
Jomolhari is a Tibetan script Uchen font created by Christopher Fynn,
freely available under the Open Font License. It supports text
encoded using the Unicode Standard and the Chinese national standard
for encoding characters of the Tibetan script (GB/T20524-2006 "Tibetan
Coded Character Set"). The design of the font is based on Bhutanese
manuscript examples and it is suitable for text in Tibetan, Dzongkha
and other languages written in the Tibetan script.
Only a few pieces of software are using the ICU integration library,
these aren't the big harfbuzz users (i.e. gtk). this is intended to lessen
the impact of icu's frequent ABI breaks.
pkglint 20.2.0 (and a bit earlier) does not insist on entries
for directories any longer that do not contain complete packages.
Remove them.
While here, fix security/Makefile that had two missing entries.
UW ttyp0 is a family of bitmap programmer's fonts in bdf format. It covers
most of the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet, Greek, Armenian, Georgian (only
Mkhedruli), Hebrew (without cantillation marks), Thai, most of IPA (but no
UPA), standard punctuation, common symbols, some mathematics, line graphics,
a few dingbats, and Powerline delimiter symbols.
UW ttyp0 comes in nine sizes from 6x11 to 11x22. In all of the sizes there
are regular and bold versions; for some there is also a (somewhat experimental)
italic.
Recursive Mono & Sans is a variable type family built for better code
& UI. It is inspired by casual script signpainting, but designed
primarily to meet the needs of programming environments and
application interfaces.
In programming, "recursion" is when a function calls itself, using its
own output as an input to yield powerful results. Recursive Mono was
used as a tool to help build itself: it was used to write Python
scripts to automate type production work and to generate specimen
images, and it was used in HTML, CSS, and JS to create web-based
proofs & prototypes. Through this active usage, Recursive Mono was
crafted to be both fun to look at as well as deeply useful for all-day
work.
Recursive Sans borrows glyphs from its parent mono but adjusts the
widths of many key glyphs for comfortable readability. Its metrics are
superplexed - every style takes up the exact same horizontal space,
across all styles. In this 3-axis variable font, this allows for fluid
transitions between weight, slant, and "expression" (casual to strict
letterforms), all without text shifts or layout reflow. Not only does
this allow for new interactive possibilities in UI, but it also makes
for a uniquely fun typesetting experience.
