Description Shubhadeep Chaudhuri 2012-01-17 14:51:31 UTC 
I suggest to break up the media-fonts/lohit-fonts package into sub-packages. According to this bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781466, newer tarballs for lohit-fonts are no longer released but they are for the individual fonts which are contained in the package. Version 2.5.0 for all the fonts were released in September 2011 but lohit-fonts hasn't been updated from 2.4.2 since September 2009.

Also, breaking up the package would allow users to install only the fonts they need and not all of them contained in the lohit-fonts tarball.

Currently, these are the fonts that are provided by the project, Assamese, Bengali, Devanagari (enables Hindi, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Marathi, Nepali, Sindhi), Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu.
Comment 1 Shubhadeep Chaudhuri 2012-05-23 08:02:01 UTC 
The fedora RPMs install these fonts in separate directories for every font, eg. the font lohit-assamese is installed in /usr/share/fonts/lohit-assamese.

lohit-assamese-2.5.1.ebuild

Here are ebuilds derived from the original lohit-fonts ebuild for the 12 fonts. The fonts are installed in /usr/share/fonts/indic/${PN}.
