  Description     : TrueType structure of Pretendard font

The core 'fonts-pretendard' package is already available in the
official Debian archive, but it only provides the OTF (OpenType)
format.

This new 'fonts-pretendard-ttf' source package introduces the TrueType
(TTF) structure and variable font files of the core Pretendard family.
This is highly requested for specific rendering engines, older
software compatibility, and web-focused environments where TTF hints
perform better.

I have successfully built, packaged, and hosted these TTF packages on
my Launchpad PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~kms0219kms/+archive/ubuntu/fonts

I am looking for a Debian Sponsor to review and upload this package
into the official archive.

Best wishes,
Minsu Kim

As you have pointed out, the upstream source is already in the
fonts-pretendard source package.

Please make the package build your newly requested binary package
instead of creating a new source package.

Thank you for the guidance and for reassigning the bug.

I completely agree with your approach. Integrating all the variants
(TTF structure and specialized subsets like Gov, JP, Std) into the
single existing 'fonts-pretendard' source package is a much cleaner
way to maintain the archive.

I will update my packaging files to generate multiple binary packages
(both OTF and TTF variants) from the single 'fonts-pretendard' source
package.

Once I update the debian/control, rules, and install configurations to
build all the requested binary packages smoothly, I will share the
updated source package / salsa merge request for your review.

Best wishes,
Minsu Kim
