PKGBUILD points to a wrong version of Google's Open Sans font.

Description:

The current, variable-axes font can be found in the following directory:
https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/main/ofl/opensans

Additional info:

• package version(s): ttf-opensans 1.101-3

Thanks for the ticket. But unfortunately nothing is likely to happen because the PM appears to be MIA: https://archlinux.org/packages/?packager=farseerfc @gromit, any inkling as to what's going on here?

I have asked in the packaging channel and someone got in contact with them If this turns out to not get fixed in the near future I can also have a look myself

Sorry for being absent for quite a while. I was caught in my life and then my daytime job, and I am still trying to get my spare time back to normal. As my signing key is lacking enough trust from master keys I can not fix this currently. I am very sorry for the trouble caused in the community. Thank you all for taking care of the packages.

@farseerfc Glad to hear from you! Are you planning on returning? I'm just asking because if you plan to do so I can help you get things going again and if you don't plan to return anyways I would start an offboarding

@gromit Thank you! I really enjoyed contributing to the community. I would like to come back if the community would allow me. But my spare time in the near future is still quite limited, and I am trying to improve my situation on that. Please allow me for another month or so. Once I freed up my time I think I will be able to return to the community.

@farseerfc any news on your situation in this regard? As previously said I'm happy to help, but just delaying "I'll be back soon" again and again is not really a permanent solution if you don't have the time on your hands

Help for the one who fixes this.

To get at the said font files without cloning the whole 1GB repo.

a) Using git filter and sparse checkout:

git clone --depth=1 --no-checkout --filter=tree:0 'https://github.com/google/fonts'
cd fonts/
git sparse-checkout set 'ofl/opensans'
git checkout
ls ofl/opensans
 DESCRIPTION.en_us.html   METADATA.pb   OFL.txt  'OpenSans-Italic[wdth,wght].ttf'  'OpenSans[wdth,wght].ttf'

or b) Using HTTP (githubusercontent.com is owned by Github):

curl --location --remote-name 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/fonts/refs/heads/main/ofl/opensans/OpenSans%5Bwdth%2Cwght%5D.ttf'

curl --location --remote-name 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/fonts/refs/heads/main/ofl/opensans/OpenSans-Italic%5Bwdth%2Cwght%5D.ttf'

Could you please test the following test package and verify that everything works as expected?

sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com/\~gromit/ttf-opensans-1.101-4-any.pkg.tar.zst

It seems like the package now contains only italic fonts? E.g. my Firefox shows FreshRSS completely in italic after the update to 1.101-4.

It seems like it should also contain regular fonts

Strange, now it's not reproducable, some hours ago it was even occuring after restarting Firefox. Sorry for the noise.
