tengwar-fonts (new ebuild)
@ reporter : should use up and coming font class. Are these fonts unicode btw ? @ fonts team : i intend to put the current proposed font eclass in soon, so we can start adapting the font packs to use it. The eclass can be extended at a later point if needed, current functionality font system support wise (read twice ;) should suffice for the majority of our users as it is. Ok, I'll have to learn about the font class then first. About utf: I dont know - I guess, due to the fictive characters, they aren't implemented. These characters came from another world (middle-earth) to us, so the unicode consortium probably never thought about them. :) The main reason for writing this ebuild was they are needed for ktt (kde tengwar tool) -> see bug #41315 ktt is capable to transcribe roman letter words to and from tengwar. Looking at the result of that program, I think there is absolute no connection to UTF. foser: okay. I don't have much spare time atm (durning this month), but I'll catch up on it when I manage to do it. Hi, sorry for the delay. We now have font.eclass in Portage, so could you please rewrite your ebuild with it? See ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-r3.ebuild and sazanami-20040629.ebuild for example. Also, you don't need to write src_unpack() in this case (they are automatically unpacked if you omit src_unpack()). Thanks in advance. k, I added the ebuild with font.eclass. Thanks. |
