According to the maintainer, the principal differences are: 1) The source from Debian (x11-fonts/indic-ttf) is a more complex set of font families, where the source from Gentoo (x11-fonts/fonts-indic) contains only the Lohit family (and not every people love it ;-) ). 2) The Lohit subset family from Debian hasn't the support for the Malayalam language, until now, because for an old problem it doesn't work very well with the actual rendering engine, where the source from Gentoo has, in a= ny way. 3) The fonts from Debian (x11-fonts/indic-ttf) are from the Debian unstable and are more updated than ones from Gentoo (x11-fonts/fonts-indic), that are from the Gentoo stable. In fact the real modification date of the fonts of the former is ~ Sun May 6 13:0:0 2007, where the real modification date of the fonts of the later is >=3D 2004, <=3D January 2007 and , in the Gentoo sourc= e, only the Lohit Malayalam support has a real modification date of January 2008. With regards to these explanations, I think that it's better to keep these two separate ports. Best regards, --=20 Th. Thomas. --gj572EiMnwbLXET9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkf1E1sACgkQc95pjMcUBaLbbgCdFUSw2lZlDzl2Gyhxtixf9OBw DRIAoKfXCm4rr08sRmNWZBXx+4xh6D0F =wBS7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gj572EiMnwbLXET9--
