Description:
Namdhinggo provides glyphs for all Limbu characters and some Latin.

The Limbu, or Kirat Sirijonga, script is used by around 400 000 people in Nepal
and India. This Unicode-encoded font has been designed to support literacy and
materials development in the Limbu language.

According to traditional histories the Limbu script was developed by King
Sirijonga in the 9th Century. It then fell out of use before being reintroduced
in the 18th century by Teongsi Sirijonga (1704-1741) whom many felt to be the
reincarnation of the first Sirijonga. The modern Sirijonga was apparently
martyred in 1741 for the sake of this script by lamas in Sikkim. The script was
named ‘Sirijonga’ in his honour by the Limbu scholar Iman Singh Chemjong.

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
Deadline (2020-02-25)
