Update Gidugu (re: ట) #365

Open m4rc1e opened 8 years ago

m4rc1e commented 8 years ago

Hello,

There are some non-Latin fonts such as Gidugu which do not contain build chains for OT features etc

I was wondering if Google Fonts made any tooling for Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil?

This would explain why they are missing from some of the repos I'm coming across.

Cheers, Marc

AFAIK the fonts by Purushoth Kumar Guttula were made with FontCreator which has no source files in its workflow, and is popular in Asia. @appajid may be able to explain more.

I recommend against thinking of 'Google Fonts' as an entity; there are only contractors.

davelab6 commented 8 years ago

Please list the repos you can't find source for

m4rc1e commented 8 years ago

Thank you for your reply Dave,

Apart from Gidugu, there is also Suwannaphum. I couldn't find a proper git repo for these. I remember seeing more, I will add them as I find them.

Cheers, Marc

Regards 'ట' gunintham Purushoth Kumar updated the font and sent me ttf today. He uses Font creator to create font. I convert that into font forge file and upload them shortly.. if there are any issues in the new one then let me know. I will work on the issues to solve.

@m4rc1e That's by @danhhong who has also been a long time FontCreator user, although he is moving to Glyphs this year.

@danhhong, please could you create repos for all your fonts? :)

davelab6 commented 8 years ago

@appajid thank you!! :)

m4rc1e commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the swift replies and confirmation.

@danhhong already has repos for this fonts.

Cheers, Marc

Hey @m4rc1e, do we need this open still? Please close if you're good with closing it. 👍🏻

davelab6 commented 7 years ago

Seems original issue is resolved, but a comment from the designer suggests there is another task to do before closing this
