ebuild with SRC_URI update.

media-fonts/vlgothic-20200720, the latest in the Portage tree, has a bug. [1][2] (Accroding to the cited links, it has an erroneous value of xAvgCharWidth in the OS/2 table.)

I wonder if you could bump it. The upstream released a fix version, 20220612, as also detected by packages.gentoo.org. For example, Debian provides that update. [3]

NB: The link [1] comment 2 says the fix is 20200720, but it's wrong. 20220612 is the correct one.

According to the upstream developer, this doesn't affect normal uses in Linux / MacOS. However, Wine seems to be hit by this.

I attached an ebuild, hoping the change in the SRC_URI line will help. All keywords are "~".

Thanks beforehand. いつもありがとうございます。非常感謝 > Project:CJK
