These fonts are a new generation of fonts for Malayalam that hopefully solve some rendering problems which previously all Malayalam fonts had to contend with on GNU/Linux. See: http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/smc/fonts/malayalam-fonts-04/README.txt Reproducible: Always

Upstream is active! However, during its move to Gitlab in late 2014 the collection got split into individual fonts, available from different repositories. This will require at least a significant refactoring of the ebuild and possibly a split into separate ones - which of course can be done if there is enough user interest. Therefore: * * * While this is still a viable package for the Gentoo Portage tree it appears this ebuild is lacking in community interest. If you (or another user) are still wanting this to make it into the Portage tree please let us know! It would be additionally helpful (but not required) if you were willing to help out with the package by becoming it's proxied maintainer; you have already done most of the work for this task. Gentoo even has a dedicated team[1] for assisting users in becoming proxied maintainers. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact proxy-maint@gentoo.org or join #gentoo-proxy-maint on Freenode IRC. If this bug remains silent without further comments for 30 days i will close it with the resolution of WONTFIX. Beyond that the bug can always be reopened to get this package back on track for the Gentoo Portage tree. [1]: https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Project:Proxy_Maintainers Kind regards, Marecki
