Dear members of the pkg-fonts team,

The team merger is now completed, the users from the pkg-ofl-fonts
project have been added to pkg-fonts and the packaging files have been
committed to the pkg-fonts svn.

As you can see from the svn changelog, I've now committed a debian/ for
8 extra open font families:
- ttf-century-catalogue
- ttf-inconsolata
- ttf-sil-abyssinica
- ttf-sil-andika
- ttf-sil-charis
- ttf-sil-doulos
- ttf-sil-gentium
- ttf-sil-padauk

I have also added an open-font-design-toolkit metapackage skeleton to
make it easier for Debian users to pull the various tools available in
the archive to do open font design.

I have also added a maintainers-tips.txt file as a way to start
collecting best practises ideas.

I'll do ITPs for the remaining fonts and after some tests and reviews
someone in the team can sponsor the uploads.

I also plan to package the GFS open fonts for Greek someday:
http://www.greekfontsociety.org/pages/en_typefaces.html

Your feedback/suggestions/patches on all that is *very* welcome.
Let's work together and refine the packaging for the growing number of
open fonts being released. Let's make Debian shine with quality open
fonts and extended language coverage :-)

We can now switch off the pkg-ofl-fonts project.

Thanks,
