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 Please do not flag this as out of date unless/until there is a source people can use to get the file or some other way I can verify the installation details for people that have the source and want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

Thanks for the fix @alerque. I can confirm this package downloads and installs fine now.

I appreciate the background; that's pretty weird! However, IMO it's perfectly fine to flag a package if maintainers don't respond to comments after several weeks. I think Arch is unclear on how to use the out-of-date flag vs the other kinds of requests, but I do think there is an expectation for prompt maintenance of packages. Thanks again.

Guys please stop flagging this for download issues. The upstream location is up and down on a personal server of a grumpy guy who sometimes blocks some countries or IP blocks. It's still the official canonical upstream for this project. Use the built version of this package from my personal package repository (see the AUR Wiki) if you are desperate to use it, but be aware that upstream has actively decided people should not get to use their font freely in spite of the license.

As others have stated, the archive.org links work. Same checksums too. Please fix the package @alerque

The missing files are also available on the internet archive:

sources are 404 for version 14.00, making this package indeed unusable. It's available in archive.org though.

HunabKu commented on 2024-10-22 16:07 (UTC)

So in this state this package is unusable ?

alerque commented on 2024-10-03 10:24 (UTC)

Please do not flag this as out of date for v15 or v16 unless the licence situation changes and a download is available. The upstream developer has changed the licensing from "free for personal use but pay for academic and commercial use" to "pay for any use". Additionally there is no longer a publicly available download, so there is nothing to update this package too

And the old URL is resolving to a 404 now as well.
