The focus is on clear, easy-to-perceive letterforms that will not be readily confused with one another. A sans serif font is preferred by some literacy personnel for teaching people to read. Its forms are simpler and less cluttered than those of most serif fonts. For years, literacy workers have had to make do with fonts that were not really suitable for beginning readers and writers. In some cases, literacy specialists have had to tediously assemble letters from a variety of fonts in order to get all of the characters they need for their particular language project, resulting in confusing and unattractive publications. Andika addresses those issues. The Andika Compact font family was derived from Andika using SIL TypeTuner, by setting the “Line spacing” feature to “Tight”, and it cannot be TypeTuned again. It may exhibit some diacritics clipping on screen (but should print fine). 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.
