Thanks! The provenance of the font needs to be crystal clear for it to be included in Linux distros. > I fully support an initiative to get a better font into the Linux > distros: at Gnome level would be best right? Bhashitha was meant to be the one ... but falls short. We currently have LKLUG, GNU Free Font and Noto packaged for Debian. The font would be just another distro package, e.g. rpm or deb. If it is more legible than the other fonts, then we can make it the default by making the Sinhlala language support package require it. cya, # |
