Well, let me know if that's the case! After all, my submission is almost identical as the existing packages such as font-ibm-plex and font-inconsolata? I would prefer not to "fork" as another repository if I can avoid it! -Yasu On Sun, 2021-01-10 at 07:28 -0500, Julien Lepiller wrote: > I might

I created a 'low-standard-guix' repository and moved the submitted package there, for now :-) https://github.com/yugawara/low-standard-guix/blob/master/README.md Again, when I get time, let me see if I can properly package Cascadia Code fonts! Cheers, Yasu On Sun, 2021-01-10 at 19:56 +0900,

Hi Leo, Understood, and this level of scrutiny is actually an encouraging sign that Guix has standards!  I am happy enough to have it this way for my personal use for now. Later, when I have more time, let me revisit. I have not experimented with this yet but I also understand I can

Hi Yasu, I don't think it'll be so simple. It appears, that nerd-fonts already includes – or at least has the potential to include – some non-free glyphs, which would in turn then be part of Cascadia. An instance would be pomicons [1], which are licensed as CC BY-NC-ND. A reviewer would first

Thank you for your comments! Because I don't have a lot of time, is it ok to just re-format the original submission, get it committed with the comment that the package needs to be compiled rather than copied, when someone (or I) wants to so properly? Cheers, Yasu > On Jan 10, 2021, at 18:16,

Hello Vincent, there is no .tar of the fonts however, that's a source tarball generated by github. To be fair, one should probably build this font (and other fonts) from source instead. In particular, we might want to package nerd-fonts[1] first, since Cascadia appears to be an iteration of it.

Hello Guix Development, Attached is my Guix package submission of Microsoft Cascadia Code fonts. This is my very first attempt to make a Guix package contribution and I did this in less than 30 minutes, copying the package descriptions of IBM Plex fonts and modifying a few things. I dont' know
