Package: fonts-pecita
Version: 5.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Debian Fonts Task Force,

I just released version 5.2. Please feel free to package it for
Debian.

The files are here : http://pecita.eu/b

*Version*
Version 5.2 - Mon 2015-09-07 - of the font Pecita

*Make*
The script compile.pe invokes FontForge to build Pecita.otf from
PecitaSource.sfd.
The build process is based on the ExpandStroke function that is, for now,
unusable with fontforge > 20120731.

*Title*
OpenType hand-written font whose letters are connected

*Description*
Pecita is a hand-written font that give a natural rendition.
It includes all of the full Language support for Afrikaans, Archaic Greek
Letters, Baltic, Basic Cyrillic, Basic Greek, Basic Latin, Catalan, Central
European, Chess Symbols, Dutch, Euro, Hebbar Tamil, Igbo Onwu, IPA, Latin
Ligatures, Mathematical Operators, Pan African Latin, Pinyin, Polytonic
Greek,
Romanian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Western European.
It implements the OpenType features "Localized form substitution,
Superscript ,
Subscript, Small capitals, Standard ligatures, Glyph decomposition and
Contextual alternates".

*New possibilities in Version 5*
The previous version 4 generalized the connection mechanism of letters. This
version 5 generalizes the accent mechanism of letters in keeping the
connection
mechanism. This allows the font to be used across the spectrum of LCG
scripts
and in transliterations of tonal languages that make extensive use of
diacritical and IPA characters.
