DetailsWishlist Bug
The Current Version of ttf-malayalam-fonts package in repository is 4.4.1 . New version of these fonts are in upstream download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-redirect/smc/fonts/malayalam-fonts-5.0.1.tar.gz . Please update it . This release fixes size issues and introduce many new characters It is also updated on Debian, Ubuntu and fedora. BTW debian now adopted a new fonts naming method. They packaged this as fonts-malayalam , more simple and understandable name Anivar |
This task depends upon
Debian & derivatives now uses fonts-foundry-name as package name (their font pakaging policy here http://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/PackagingPolicy)
So their package name is fonts-smc
Pakage here http://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-smc
which is also accessible through fonts-malayalam
Fedora uses foundry-name-fonts so their package name is smc-fonts
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/smc-fonts
Adopting one one of these methods will be the best way i feel
Also it will be good if you can include fontconf xml instructions as seen on debian package
As alaways, platform packages stay in testing for 7 days, so expect this package in stable by next weekend.
