Just a heads up, the checksum needs updating.

Thanks for the OOD flag @a.t, it made by day! I missed this announcement and am thrilled with some of the fixes/additions!

Can you please remove the fontconfig & xorg dependencies from this? Those are obsolete and no longer necessary (in fact they create problems is some scenarios). Also the install file should be completely removed, you don't need to do anything (and shouldn't do anything). Arch has switched to a hook system which does the necessary actions on it's own.

I am disowning the package. It would be a pleasure if someone continues maintaining it.

Thank you for the info -- I'm updating right now.

Brill Publishing has stopped distibuting the otf-version of this font, I have made a new package with the ttf-version they currently recommend. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-brill/

I suppose prepackaging the font would in this case violate the license indeed. I would say some promotion of the font would make sense. I believe John Hudson/Tiro Typeworks and of course Brill Publishers have done very well by creating this transitional (at least, that's what I would call it) serif typeface in four variants (roman, italic, bold and bold-italic, each containing a rather extended set of characters) and then making it available under Brill's non-commecial license. It deserves to be used.

Thanks for the clarification. Frankly, I am never sure how exactly I should understand the limits of 'redistribution': it seems that releasing a build script, like yours, may be considered a different action than going one step further and providing the end user with a pre-built package, even if a copy of a license has been included with it… From my pretty pragmatic standpoint, none of the two is detrimental to the licensor. However, proving validity of a legal regulation with a common sense is not a good (or safe) idea… Anyway, I will try and recommend your work to those who may find it useful (via Arch Wiki for instance).
