Description:
Dai Banna includes a complete set of New Tai Lue (Xishuangbanna Dai)
consonants, vowels, tones, and digits, along with punctuation and other useful
symbols. A basic set of Latin glyphs, including Arabic numerals, is also
provided.

The New Tai Lue script is used by approximately 300 000 people who speak the
Xishuangbanna Dai language in Yunnan, China.  It is a simplification of the Tai
Tham (Old Tai Lue) script as used for this language for hundreds of years.

The Dai News Department of Xishuangbanna Daily provided valuable advice during
the development of this font family. Xishuangbanna Daily, established in 1957,
is the largest newspaper company in Yunnan, China that publishes in the New Tai
Lue script.

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. For example:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1468243

If the review is fast enough the package may make the FC32 100% Code Complete
