+(define-public font-monocraft + (package + (name "font-monocraft") + (version "1.1") + (source (origin + (method git-fetch) + (uri (git-reference + (url "https://github.com/IdreesInc/Monocraft") + (commit (string-append "v" version)))) + (file-name (git-file-name name version)) + (sha256 + (base32 + "1a7ibdgzc900mfw0jmpqq8hb4lbx3m3sfmv0pl44b2bhmpqqg0l4")))) + (build-system font-build-system) + (home-page "https://idreesinc.com/") + (synopsis "The font for developers who like Minecraft a bit too much") + (description "A programming font based on the typeface used in Minecraft.") + (license license:silofl1.1)))
Going by the README.md, this font is based on <https://github.com/IdreesInc/Minecraft-Font>:
(*) link to https://github.com/IdreesInc/Minecraft-Font>:
- The characters in this font were based around the typeface (*) used in the Minecraft UI, with a select few glyphs updated for better readability and spacing
According at the README.md of <https://github.com/IdreesInc/Minecraft-Font>,
The font has been carefully recreated pixel-by-pixel, it is the same font as used in Minecraft.
Minecraft is non-free software. It is possible that
Minecraft's fonts have a separate free license,
but unless someone brings evidence of the contrary, I would
assume that the copy (*) is not
allowed by Minecraft's license and that it does not allow
letting the license of the modified font be silofl1.1.
As such, unfortunately it appears this cannot be included in Guix (and neither anywhere else).
Greetings,
Maxime
