The download location for this package no longer exists.  http://www.ogcio.gov.hk/ccli/unicode/hkscs/download/linux_redhat/setup.bin may be the new location.

The new HOMEPAGE is:
http://www.ogcio.gov.hk/en/business/tech_promotion/ccli/terms/terms_34.htm

The license, HKSCS, has changed, and the download file has changed (gzipped .ttf). I don't know how to fix it. Thanks beforehand.

The download now requires agreeing to 'terms' similar in nature to Oracle's manual java download. i.e. Manual 'fetch' required. Even downloading the User Manual {pdf file} requires agreeing to terms. The manual is the original HK Gov manual dating to 2003 with instructions for the contemporaneous officially supported Linux versions.

The package selection page is here: 

http://www.ogcio.gov.hk/en/business/tech_promotion/ccli/download_area/iso_10646_reference.htm

The RedHat selection returns a '401 not found' message. The Suse version returns a correct suse_setup.bin file. I did't try the Mandrake version

The ebuild requires the RedHat version.

I was only interested in installing the font because I'm involved with styling Anime karaoke effects.

It looks like someone needs to contact the website for resolution of this. It's a bit too much like work for me.

Notes:

The following OGCIO {Office of Government Chief Information Officer} search link may be of interest: http://gp.search.gov.hk/search?q=fonts&output=xml_no_dtd&client=depts&proxystylesheet=ogcio_home_adv_frontend&1335374361519=sessionid&gp1=ogcio_home&gp0=ogcio_home&web=this&tpl_id=stdsearch&ui_lang=en&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&entqr=3&entqrm=0&entsp=a&ud=1&site=ogcio_home&filter=0&site=ogcio_home

I'm guessing all these HK government web pages were last updated in Oct 2011.

I've added updated ebuild to the tree. Please test it. Then I'll fill stabilize bug to drop the old revision.
Thanks.

I hit this bug, and verified -r2 works. Given that fixes you made do _not_ need a revbump, and that the package doesn't seem to be arch-dependent and the current stable version is broken anyway, I stabilized -r2 on all arches and removed -r1.
