@tfl5034 Yes, they haven't changed their key in ages. I emailed unifoundry about it but they don't seem to care.

I get a warning that the pgp key is expired.

Updated the PKGBUILD. It should build and install correctly now.

I found NEWS saying:

2023-09-12: Release 15.1.01
   ...
   * OpenType fonts are now built by default, replacing TrueType fonts.
     TrueType fonts can be built manually by invoking "make truetype"
     in the font directory.

Then tried this:

build() {
    cd "${srcdir}/unifont-${pkgver}/font"
    make truetype
}

And I got this error message from Makefile:

make[1]: fontforge: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile:77: ttf] Error 127

The new (15.1.01-1) version seems to require fontforge to build.

I believe this is the same error as the comment below, but just in case here is my build output which is failing:

The build fails since https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-15.1.01/unifont-15.1.01.tar.gz doesn't have precompiled TTF

@nl6720: indeed, but I worked around it by just downloading the files myself as I do not like gambling :P

nl6720 commented on 2023-06-06 09:29 (UTC)

@1ace, ftpmirror.gnu.org is not a single server, try again and you may get a better server.

Looks like the server behind ftpmirror.gnu.org is severely out of date, to the point that curl doesn't support it anymore. I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done in the PKGBUILD to work around that?

I have switched to otf-unifont on my system, so I am disowning the TTF package now. Upstream will stop distributing prebuilt TTF files later this year, although you can still build them from source.
