Greetings,

I am a member of the Non-Roman Script Initiative (NRSI -
http://scripts.sil.org) at SIL International (http://www.sil.org/). Many
of the fonts that NRSI produces are already packaged and included in
Debian. I have been invited by Daniel Glassey to be part of the Debian
pkg-fonts team and update the fonts and the packaging for NRSI fonts.

I recently made a new font package for a new NRSI font, LateefGR, you
can see my work on my personal GitHub account at

https://github.com/devosb/fonts-sil-lateefgr

In several months, this font should be replaced by the normal version of
Lateef (in the package fonts-sil-lateef) so I was not intending LateefGR
to go into Debian. Feedback is welcome on the work I did, and I will
apply those comments to other font packages. I used the existing Debian
project font packaging for NRSI fonts as my guide, and increased my
knowledge of Debian packaging.

Regards, Bobby
