This font is aimed at minority language support. This makes it unique among Nastaliq fonts. Nastaliq, based on a centuries-old calligraphic tradition, is considered one of the most beautiful scripts on the planet. Nastaliq has been called “the bride of calligraphy” but its complexity also makes it one of the most difficult scripts to render using a computer font. Its right-to-left direction, vertical nature, and context-specific shaping provide a challenge to any font rendering engine and make it much more difficult to render than the flat (Naskh) Arabic script that it is based on. As a result, font developers have long struggled to produce a font with the correct shaping but at the same time avoid overlapping of dots and diacritics. In order to account for the seemingly infinite variations, the Graphite rendering engine has been extended just to handle these complexities properly. Fedora Account System Username: nim One of SIL’s Non-Roman Script Initiative font families 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.
