Please do not report installation problems with AUR font packages here! I do not maintain them, if you want it fixed, report it to the respective maintainers.

I encountered a PDF issue described here [https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031235/wrong-letter-positioning-and-font-in-pdf-form/1286570] that I successfully fixed following the @Xiota answer; if other users loving former infinality config like me found this trick good, I suggest to add this font substitution here (since Nimbus is included in the GSfonts package that is a dependency here).

~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/10-pdf-aliases.conf

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "/etc/fonts/conf.d/fonts.dtd">
  <fontconfig>

  <alias binding="same">
    <family>CourierStd</family>
    <accept>
    <family>Courier</family>
    </accept>
  </alias>

  <alias>
    <family>CourierStd</family>
    <default><family>monospace</family></default>
  </alias>

  </fontconfig>

Let keep this project alive!

Before installing note that the link is down for the ttf-impallari-cantora zip file, however it is available here:

@jurf Hooray. Apparently he's going to add build instructions so I'll wait on that rather than making a mess of the PKGBUILD.

BTW, Gelasio is now (finally!) available on GitHub: https://github.com/EbenSorkin/Gelasio

should 'font-bh-ttf' be added as dep, since alias.conf file uses it?

you are doing gods work. thank you! my eyes feel so much better.

I am surprised that Arch's general recommendations guide doesn't recommend this package. They just point you to the fontconfig wiki as if people are capable of curating a set of fonts and adding freetype configurations! It used to recommend people use infinality, but it should definitely recommend this instead.

Thank you again.

Mostly I haven't created packages for them because I haven't found a remote source that's trustworthy, includes a copy of the license, and is possible to pull from. But come to think of it, if they're licensed under the OFL anyway, I could just stick them on my GitHub.

I created packages (PKGBUILD and files) for the two missing font: Gelasio and WeblySleek UI. Unfortunately I don't have time to neither upload to AUR nor maintain them, so I link the .zip containing the two packages here, in the hope someone will take care of them (adopt and maintain). https://ufile.io/ojps1 NB: link will expires in four weeks

@nTia89 I wasn't the one who initially submitted this package so this wasn't my decision, but I think the idea at the time was to give the user the choice to set up their fontconfig as they see fit, which seems like the Arch thing to do. Now that I think of it however, I think it would be good to echo something in the post_install so you see a line of text in pacman that tells you what to copy where if you want the infinality config. So I'll try that if I have a moment todayish.

Should the package already install the .conf file in the /etc/fonts/conf.d directory, since who installs this package explicitly wants Bohoomil fonts substitution? EDIT: should WeblySleek UI be added as (optional) dependency as Gelasio, since it appears in the .conf file?
