Bug ID: 439489
Summary: Andika and OpenDyslexic fonts are outdated
Product: gcompris
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jaz...@gmail.com
Reporter: k...@huftis.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
GCompris contains some built-in fonts, Andika and OpenDyslexic, in these
folders:
src/core/resource/fonts
src/core/resource/fonts/TTF
According to ‘git log’, they were last updated in 2015 (with a conversion to
OTF format for Andika in 2017).
Andika recently (June 2021) had a *major* release:
https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/charis-doulos-gentium-andika-v6-000/
And OpenDyslex had an update in 2019:
https://opendyslexic.org/
So the fonts in GCompris needs to be updated.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The new version contains many improvements, so perhaps
it’s not necessary to use the workaround mentioned in
‘Andika-R-notes’ anymore?
Also, according to the ‘known issues’:
There is no support for TypeTuner or TypeTuner Web.
We hope to add that support soon.
So you need to wait until TypeTuner Web is updated to support Andika 6.000 to
generate a new font. (Currently, version 5.000 is supported.) The only
difference from the default font seems to be that the version included in
GCompris sets ‘Small l-tail alternate’ to ‘Curved tail’ instead of ‘Straight’
(I guess this is done to make the lowercase ‘l’ easier to distinguish from the
uppercase ‘I’).
