Bug#991802: ITP: fonts-vazir -- A free sans font for Persian and Arabic
Hello eshagh,
I have recently packaged fonts for Debian, so maybe I can help.
Please let us know if you need any advice during the writing of the package.
You can also use the debian-fonts mailing list, or join us on IRC
#debian-fonts on OFTC IRC network.
Happy packaging!

> Hi. This is a free font for Persian as well as Arabic. This precedent is very
> popular among Persian speakers. People now have to go to the GitHub repository
> to use it and download it, which takes some time and no longer updates. I
> thought of adding it to the Debian and Ubuntu repositories to make it easier to
> install and update.
> There are also several other free fonts that I want to add after adding this
> font.
> This is my first package for Debian, and I may make a lot of mistakes. I have
> not raised the issue in my forum yet, but if I can add this font and learn how
> to add it, I will definitely get help from others to contribute and improve it.
> Because I think after asking for help, they say: When you did not try to do
> this yourself, why do you think we will do it for you?
