If you +for some reason require unhinted fonts, export HINTS=no in the +environment before running the SlackBuild. If you don't know what font +hinting is, you probably shouldn't worry about it. + +The source tarball contains an older version of the Symbola font. +By default it's not included here, as there's already a symbola-font-ttf +on SBo. It's a much newer version of Symbola, but is licensed under +highly restrictive terms. If you'd rather have the older but free-to-use +version of Symbola, set SYMBOLA=yes in the environment for this build, +and don't install symbola-font-ttf. |
