Bugzilla Bug 41314

This ebuild installs some Tengwar-fonts

Created an attachment (id=25441) [details]
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.
