The version on Google Fonts has more glyphs. I'm wondering if this repo has the latest source?

Hi @lianghai

Is this the most current source material for Hind-Siliguri? Could you inform us about the location of the Latin glyphs which are missing from this repo but which are included in the versions currently being served on fonts.google.com? Thank you!

Hi @lianghai,

It looks like the HindSilguri has the same Latin outlines as the Hind family.

The vertical metrics values are different but the outlines are not scaled. The outlines have the same shapes but are constructed differently.

Is there more current source data for Hind Silguri that includes the Latin glyphs? Are these files merged somehow in the build process? Thank you for any information.

@pichotta @m4rc1e:

Hey all, sorry for having created this mess.

  • This repo does host the latest source files of Hind Siliguri.
  • This repo’s build.py depends on an ancient version of HindKit, 0.3.0, which was meant to be a package specific to the Hind multiscript project and thus it also hosted the shared source file of Latin glyphs.
  • Note that because the Hind (Devanagari) project precedes all other Hind projects (for other scripts) and it didn’t get updated to use the same workflow used by Hind Siliguri, etc, the non-Indic portion in Hind (Devanagari) is not from this separated source file hosted in HindKit 0.3.0, although these two sets of Latin glyphs should be consistent in principle.
