Hi ng0,

Woow, impressive piece of work!

> The only things which really are unique are:

To me, that clearly suggests that we need a function to produce the
package, like:

  (define (google-noto-font-package name hash)
    (package
      (name (string-append "font-google-" (camel-case->hyphens name)))
      =E2=80=A6))

Could you look into that?

That=E2=80=99s a bummer.  Are you sure there=E2=80=99s no versioned URL som=
ewhere?

Alternatively, could we build from source with FontForge or something?
An example of that is =E2=80=98font-linuxlibertine=E2=80=99.

Thanks,
