aliftype / qahiri Goto Github PK

(This is not an issue, but question.)

Am I missing it, or is it the case that some of the the letters in the image above are different than the letters in the qahiri
typeface? (For example, the letter sin and ayn.) If not, what other options do I have?

Per my comment on google/fonts#2924 GF requires the space glyph to have a width useful for Latin. A locl alt suitable for Arabic is great, but too many legacy systems that GF integrates with assume a Latin space.

Currently its alternates are accessible only from ی.

السلام عليكم،
جزاكم الله خيرًا، وبالتوفيق لك خير.

إن أمكن إضافة علامات التشكيل وعلامات المصحف الشريف؛ إذ الخط الآن لا يدعمها.

وشكرًا.

Hello @khaledhosny! cc @IvanUkhov

I report here an issue opened by a user: google/fonts#7234
Feel free to open an upgrade issue when the font is ready to upgrade :)

The outlines have redundant points as illustrated below.

The latest release tagged v1.01 is problematic to package for distros because in most systems it evaluates to a lower version number than the previous releases such as v1.008. This is because each segment is typically evaluated as integers, and leading zeros don't affect their value. 01 is less than 008.

If you would stick to the OpenFV specification for version numbers and Git tags this wouldn't be an issue because the second component of the version will always be three digits. The current release would be v1.010 in this scheme, and of course 10 is bigger than 8 so dist packaging would be business as usual.
