  Description     : PT (Public Type) fonts are free TrueType cyrillic fonts

The Public Type or PT Fonts
are a family of free fonts,
released from 2009 onwards,
comprising PT Sans, PT Serif and PT Mono.
The latest version released in 2014.
They were commissioned
from the design agency ParaType by Rospechat,
a department of the Russian Ministry
of Communications, and Google
to form a font family
that supported all the different variations
of Cyrillic script used
by the minority languages of Russia,
as well as the Latin alphabet.
The main aim of the project
is to give possibility to the peoples of Russia
to read and write on their native languages.

The source package
will contains *.ttf files and
will produce the following
binary packages:
 - fonts-pt-sans;
 - fonts-pt-serif;
 - fonts-pt-mono and
 - metapackage fonts-pt
   that includes all of the above.
