  Description     : a fork of Droid Arabic Naskh font

Sahl (Arabic for even, easy, convenient) is a fork of Droid Arabic Naskh font,
 fixing some of the issues in the original font.
 .
 Changes:
 .
   - Quranic annotation marks:
         - Made U+06E4 bigger, it was tiny and almost invisible!
         - Changed U+06E0 to be a small 0, not a black rectangle!
         - Changed U+06DF to be a small sukun, not black circle!
         - Changed U+06E1 to not be a small initial haa!
   - Increased the distance between vowel marks and base letter,
     they were too close to be readable.
   - Removed the Riyal ligature, this symbol should be used directly
     if needed, not automatically replace the Arabic word riyal.
   - Added GDEF ligature caret, just in case any application begins
     to support them.
   - Merged the Droid Serif in the font, so that it covers Latin and
     punctuation marks.
   - Raised the isolated Noon to the baseline, as it looks out of place
     next to Waw, Raa or even Alef (the glyphs it is likely to come next to).
   - Fixed the position of Hamza below Lam-Alef; it was placed under the Lam!

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging fonts-sahl-naskh. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of fonts-sahl-naskh from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging fonts-sahl-naskh, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <739504@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
