This style of writing African ajami has sometimes been called Sudani Kufi or Rubutun Kano. Alkǎlami (pronounced al-KA-la-mi) is the local word for the Arabic “qalam”, a type of sharpened stick used for writing on wooden boards in the Kano region of Nigeria and in Niger, and what gives the style its distinct appearance. The baseline stroke is very thick and solid. The ascenders and other vertical strokes including the teeth are very narrow when compared to the baseline. A generous line height is necessary to allow for deep swashes and descenders, and the overall look of the page is a very black, solid rectangle. Diacritics are much smaller in scale, with very little distance from the main letters. The Alkalami font supports the characters known to be used by languages written with the Kano style of Arabic script, but may not have the characters needed for other languages. Fedora Account System Username: nim One of SIL’s Non-Roman Script Initiative. https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=Home SIL is a specialist of rare human scripts and contributes its expertise to the Unicode consortium. The objective is to get 100% of SIL’s font catalog in Fedora to improve our i18n coverage. Due to $#@= variations on how SIL publishes its fonts, the spec uses some SIL-specific macros to hide those variations and limit the changes between the specs of SIL fonts. The packaging conforms to https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/935 as approved by FPC on 2020-02-13. It is one of the test packages that were used to refine the new packaging guidelines https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/fonts-rpm-macros/ The new fonts packaging build chain is now live in koji.
