| Description Alkalami is a font designed for Arabic-based writing systems in the Kano region of Nigeria and Niger. Alkalami (pronounced al-KA-la-mi) is the local word for the Arabic "qalam", a type of sharpened stick used for writing on wooden boards in the Kano region of Nigeria and in Niger, and what gives the style its distinct appearance. The baseline stroke is very thick and solid. The ascenders and other vertical strokes including the teeth are very narrow when compared to the baseline. A generous line height is necessary to allow for deep swashes and descenders, and the overall look of the page is a very black, solid rectangle. Diacritics are much smaller in scale, with very little distance from the main letters. |

Log message: Don't install webfonts to /usr/local/share/fonts. Webfonts are only useful to serve over the web. On OpenBSD, where /var/www is on a different partition from /usr/local and not visible from chroot, there's no way for pkg_add to keep these files up to date once they've been copied to a webserver. Maybe we'll install webfonts to /var/www in the future. Whether we do or not, installing them to /usr/local as we do now won't help. ok sthen@ pamela@ rsadowski@ |
