Description: 
The Apparatus SIL font family was designed to provide most of the symbols
needed to reproduce the textual apparatus found in major editions of Greek &
Hebrew biblical texts. It is based on SIL Charis, a font family designed for
optimum clarity and compactness when printed at small point sizes. This assures
that both Charis SIL and Apparatus SIL can be used together in documents with a
consistency of style.

Most lines of text in the apparatus can be reproduced by combining the Greek
and Hebrew fonts, transliteration (using a font such as Charis SIL), and the
Apparatus SIL font.

One of SIL’s Non-Roman Script Initiative font families
https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=Home

SIL is a specialist of rare human scripts and contributes its expertise to the Unicode consortium. The objective is to get 100% of SIL’s font catalog in Fedora to improve our i18n coverage.

Due to $#@= variations on how SIL publishes its fonts, the spec uses some SIL-specific macros to hide those variations and limit the changes between the specs of SIL fonts.



The packaging conforms to https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/935
as approved by FPC on 2020-02-13.

It is one of the test packages that were used to refine the new packaging guidelines
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/fonts-rpm-macros/

The new fonts packaging build chain is now live in koji. For example:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1468243

If the review is fast enough the package may make the FC32 100% Code Complete Deadline (2020-02-25)
