I did some research on this... Upstream are using Microsoft VOLT (Visual OpenType Layout Tool), which saves and loads TTF files. The source for the TTF is the other larger TTF from Nafees_Nastaleeq_v1.02(VOLT_project).zip that contains more font tables. The main difference is the TSIV table, which contains textual source code produced by font designers running VOLT. FontForge doesn't appear to understand/use TSIV, but with ttx from fonttools it is possible to dump the font to XML, modify the TSIV and then convert back to TTF. There is no graphical interface though. FontForge appears to be able to discard the TSIV table also. I'm not sure what all this means in terms of the DFSG but it is probably OK. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/VOLT.mspx http://scripts.sil.org/volt_tutorial https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706888#c15 The more problematic thing is that the PDF document was produced in Microsoft Word and the .doc file (the source for the PDF) is not available for download. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
