Debian Patches

Status for fonts-sahel/3.4.0+ds-1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
strip-glyphs Drop Latin mark attachment classes from the source fonts The Sahel SFDs declare GDEF mark attachment classes (MarkClass-1 .. MarkClass-4)
whose members are exclusively Latin/Open Sans combining glyphs (gravecomb,
acutecomb, uni0307, uni0327, ...). Those glyphs are not part of the Sahel
sources: upstream expects them to be merged in from the Open Sans source, which
is neither shipped nor downloaded for the Debian build.
.
FontForge therefore writes @MarkClass1 .. @MarkClass4 definitions into the
generated features.fea that reference glyphs missing from the font, and
fontmake then refuses to build the variable font ("glyph names referenced but
are missing from the glyph set").
.
Drop the dangling classes in the sources instead of deleting lines from the
generated features.fea, so the reason for the change is obvious. No lookup
uses these classes, so removing them does not affect layout.		 Danial Behzadi <dani.behzi@ubuntu.com> not-needed 2026-10-12
strip-woff Remove the woff2 making line from makevariable script By default, the script to make variable font tries to make woff2 fonts
for web from the ttf file of variable font. This can be safely removed
since there would be no woff2 font in the Debian package.		 Danial Behzadi <dani.behzi@ubuntu.com> not-needed 2023-11-05
check-compatibility Skip compatibility check New fontmake checks for compatibility check which we don't want.
Skipping this in debian since it can not be forwarded to original.		 Danial Behzadi <dani.behzi@ubuntu.com> not-needed 2024-12-09
