From now on, this package is just a dummy package that installs https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vazirmatn-fonts

You can install that package directly

This change is due to the font being renamed by the main developer

@ali.molaei: This package does not install all available fonts such as Variable fonts. we can use this package() function to install all fonts:

package() {
  install -d "${pkgdir}/usr/share/fonts/${pkgname%-fonts}"
  find "${srcdir}" -name '*.ttf' -exec install -m 644 '{}' \
       "${pkgdir}/usr/share/fonts/${pkgname%-fonts}/" \;

  install -Dt "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}" -m644 ./LICENSE
}

Unfortunately I'm getting this error while trying to install the package:

@ali.molaei I think the better way to handle this is to add a replaces array like this:

replaces=('vazir-fonts')

to vazirmatn-fonts PKGBUILD file to replace this package and then file a merge request for this package to be merged with vazirmatn-fonts package, since this package became renamed.

Thanks @ali! Works now but I guess I will remove vazir-fonts anyway.

@milad.a I think the problem should be resolved now, btw, remove or update vazir-fonts package, I didn't add it as a conflict, to make it act as a decoy of this package, but I think I should reconsider that soon

The latest update is conflicting with ttf-vazir but I don't have that package installed explicitly anyway:

looking for conflicting packages...
:: vazirmatn-fonts and vazir-fonts are in conflict (ttf-vazir). Remove vazir-fonts? [y/N] 
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
