Description mren 2009-10-06 20:05:47 UTC
In the file distributed by Gentoo the bold and the bold-italic typeface of SIL Gentium are missing. This typefaces are included in the .zip file provided by SIL.

Reproducible: Always

We use the tarball provided by upstream.  Where do you see bold or bold/italic available?
Comment 2 mren 2009-10-08 18:30:34 UTC
I didn't look good enough, it's not the "main Gentium" font, which has bold and bold italic typefaces but the "Gentium basic fonts" http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium_basic

But I think it's will be good to include them also maybe with a useflag? The Gentium Basic family is based upon the Gentium Main font.
Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-09 16:17:12 UTC
Ah, not version bump. This is development and still unfinished version:

"The full Gentium fonts currently include only regular and italic faces, but two new font families - Gentium Basic and Gentium Book Basic - give a preview of what a whole range of new weights will eventually look like. The 'Basic' fonts only support a limited Latin character set (no Greek or Cyrillic)."

So let's give upstream some chance to release finished product first and then add it to the tree. If you really need ebuild for this fonts take from my overlay:

svn co http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/dev/pva/media-fonts/sil-gentium/
