Description
The Digohweli Cherokee Unicode font was designed to be an easy-to-read, all-purpose font which can be used for running text in books, magazines, and websites. It is also effective as a display type. Its clean lines, straight forward look, and lack of extravagent flourish make Digohweli a good choice for representing the Cherokee language.
It was created by Christopher Harvey.

Caveats
- Upstream does not include a detached license file and license information is hidden in font metadata which points to this web page. You should ask upstream to add a detached txt license file in its archives (that can be included in %doc).
- Upstream nicely versions its fonts, but the archive themselves are not versionned. You should ask upstream to version its archives.
- Do not forget to add the appropriate fontconfig ruleset to your package.
- The GPL requires us to ship the sources of material we package so you should ask the author if he uses some other format when editing before converting to TrueType, and if that is so publish fonts in this format so they can be bundled in the src.rpm.
- There are many good fonts on upstream's web page. If you package this one, consider packaging the others too.
