As far as I know v15 of this font is not posted publicly anywhere and the only way to get copy is emailing the author. Please do not flag this as out of date unless/until there is a source people can use to get the file or some other way I can verify the installation details for people that have the source and want a package that installs it from local sources, e.g. via file:// sources.

sources are 404 for version 14.00, making this package indeed unusable. It's available in archive.org though.

So in this state this package is unusable ?

Please do not flag this as out of date for v15 or v16 unless the licence situation changes and a download is available. The upstream developer has changed the licensing from "free for personal use but pay for academic and commercial use" to "pay for any use". Additionally there is no longer a publicly available download, so there is nothing to update this package too

And the old URL is resolving to a 404 now as well.

@Vaporeon No, one PKGBUILD should not provide multiple projects just because the releases happen to all be in a folder. The projects are not in the same source repository and they are not versioned together. Some of them change and get updated independently from others. Also they don't all have the same licensing.

Sorry for message spam, but most of the PDF files in the directory [1] contain fonts. Should they not be packaged too, or should this be provided another package? I think it would make sense for one pkgbase to provide them all.

Also, the otf file can be obtained using pdfdetach provided by the poppler package.
