Characteristics

Homepage Format & features License Review reference Koji page pkgdb page
Unicode Fonts for Ancient Scripts OFL Free to use, modify and distribute


Caveats

  1. It'd be mighty nice to convince the author to add his licensing info in the zip (as a detached txt file, in the pdf, in the font metadata)
  2. PDF is nice doc but needs to be compressed or even split in a -doc subpackage


Additional information

Needed to complete our Unicode coverage. Plus, the fonts are very nice.
