Add Solitreo - Githubissues

Super short description of the Font Family:

This font was developed by the Documenting Judeo-Spanish Project.

Solitreo refers to the Hebrew-based cursive script once used by Sephardim; it is the cursive variety of the Rashi alphabet. Solitreo, or Soletreo, is derived from Galician/Portuguese, meaning ‘to spell.’ For many Sephardim, Solitreo was simply known as ganchos, meaning ‘hooks,’ due to the ligatures that form between letters. This style of writing is distinct from the Ashkenazi-based alphabet used for cursive Hebrew today, making documents in Solitreo undecipherable to the untrained eye. A similar style of writing can also be found in documents written in Judeo-Arabic.

I have been added as a collaborator with merge rights to the upstream repository, so I'm checking the last box about maintaining the repository.

Working on adding GF Latin Core now...
