    Message : Don't install webfonts to /usr/local/share/fonts. Webfonts are only useful to serve over the web. On OpenBSD, where /var/www is on a different partition from /usr/local and not visible from chroot, there's no way for pkg_add to keep these files up to date once they've been copied to a webserver. Maybe we'll install webfonts to /var/www in the future. Whether we do or not, installing them to /usr/local as we do now won't help. ok sthen@ pamela@ rsadowski@

  • Alkalami is a font designed for Arabic-based writing systems in the
    Kano region of Nigeria and Niger.
    
    Alkalami (pronounced al-KA-la-mi) is the local word for the Arabic
    "qalam", a type of sharpened stick used for writing on wooden boards
    in the Kano region of Nigeria and in Niger, and what gives the style
    its distinct appearance. The baseline stroke is very thick and
    solid. The ascenders and other vertical strokes including the teeth
    are very narrow when compared to the baseline. A generous line
    height is necessary to allow for deep swashes and descenders, and
    the overall look of the page is a very black, solid rectangle.
    Diacritics are much smaller in scale, with very little distance
    from the main letters.
