Cool! Is this our first Hebrew font?

Just wondering, did you try the font-build-system? No big deal either
way.

I checked guix/build/font-build-system, it seemed to untar the tarball
and extract only the font files. Culmus offers two tarballs, one
"regular" one with just fonts in it (ttf,otf,afm,pfa), and the other one
with just spd files in it to be processed with fontforge. I suppose I
could have started with the font-build-system and modified it, but I
using the font-linuxlibertine package as a model, and it uses the gnu
build system as a base.

I should probably rewrite the description to remove the reference to the
Type1 fonts, they're included by default in the precompiled font tarball
but not built with the one I wrote.
