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 Please do not flag this as out of date unless/until there is a source people can use to get the file or some other way I can verify the installation details for people that have the source and want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.

@whooper It's currently up for me. It could have been a temporary issue, or you could be IP blocked or something like that. In any case there isn't much this package recipe can do about it, that is the ONLY legal site to download it from because the license expressly prohibits redistribution.

I'm getting a time out trying to download font-symbola-13.00-7.zip. The website seems to be down?

@nTia89 ① Oops, it was there but must have gotten lost in the merge. Fixed. ② I'd love it if the entire infinality ecosystem went away enough we could delete it, but there are folks still using it, even if I'm not one of them. I'm already working on removing the excess/duplicate packages. Someday we'll be able to drop the configs entirely because usage will be near zero. I don't think we're there yet. In the mean time you don't have to use them ;-)

@caleb ① ttf-symbola-infinality doesn't have ttf-symbola as its dependency and more "serious" reading its description this package contains a font, that's not true; I think it is an avoidable misunderstanding; on the other hand, you can list ttf-symbola-infinality as optional dependency for the ttf-symbola package. ② I AM NOT AN EXPERT but -infinality/-ib group/packages have been abandoned since most of the infinality capabilities have been activated/merged upstream; you can achieve an almost visually equal result with upstream packages, thus we do not need no more those. (correct me if I am wrong) ③ ok

@nTia89 ① If you install just that package from the split, it will install the TTF fonts, but via a dependency. There is no point in having two packages that install the same files. I'm gradually migrating all the -ib / -ibx package to this layout. ② I'm not 100% sure how groups work for AUR packages, but "doesn't exist any more" doesn't make sense because in any repositories the packages appear, just the packages having this definition is enough to make the group exist. I'll look into that more, but I'm pretty sure this is valid. ③ The -ib package you mention is immanently being merged into this one. See previous comments and git history.

@caleb @grawlinson, I am a bit confused about ttf-symbola-infinality package: 1- as ttf-* package I expect it contains a ttf, but it doesn't. 2- the group 'infinality-bundle-fonts' doesn't exist anymore, it was substituted by 'fonts-meta-base' and 'fonts-meta-extended-lt' meta packages 3- already exists an identical package 'ttf-symbola-ib'

@aorth I cannot confirm, I get the same checksum on a fresh download right now.

Thanks @Brottweiler, that's my mistake. I just corrected it. I did not bump the pkgver since that would make people download it all over again for something that didn't actually get changed, it only shows a warning on install, it doesn't actually change the permissions. The fix will stop the warning for new installs and everybody else is okay anyway.

warning: directory permissions differ on /etc/fonts/conf.d/
