It seems versioned and the only official source remaining seems to be directly inside Googlefonts (guessing by how many times the upstream location mention and links to it). The newer versions of this font (Pro) are sold. Well we can use github and pull just the single file, which is okay. fontlibrary.org could be a fallback if google in a typical google move decides to ever shutdown the fonts service (and with it the source for its fonts). --=20 ng0 GnuPG: A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 GnuPG: https://n0is.noblogs.org/my-keys https://www.infotropique.org https://krosos.org --el4wgfchiugcxe2e Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEqIyK3RKYKNfqwC5S4i+bv+40hYgFAlmGVWYACgkQ4i+bv+40 hYiBKg//S8LASYJyBvu8tIcoyx7UcxFi2hFbU4wB0koUoDhyrJ7oVrB8yRL+y3fJ DqYgfLdd7qjP7SQeMkkkJlnV35JlOg0nsNvKHiOqrSFqxKrThNzb2ff0oMlmhXSK JyJ98/4uWWcofeFn22vvF4VQ/gACIkkcktwfLCxrKwVYQlRyWvFo8M47rUR+XUHN OhRzj8FPGZumvCf9CQWCX/OqAjW0HQSByZNDHCFxbTnotOBGXH7j6G8E7Rwg2Vjz UV+GrY2l4I00wCuLRNUkNDp/02S9f6TK7HJgMdETkMXNJtWMi82DE9yAHllP7J+C /TnbMheCo5vvUU6jMHFJUnMtizrw3Ndo4Z9U7QcW4L4k/AYe2C7MXWgpozrYmIm5 kFlSiVZxz+q/OuUgxaY75SnJOQdgU4APxqRwT83c5nKZCWpdSUDF8ex5XrViTdqw DFzFaNASNHHo5pkQHEjiro1ljSiun7mUbQFSHKZTx/v+07c5jCI44j4AgGGvhz5C 4iFCULuBvJc39WVafKZAgm3yBApzIAls9MJCSxuRfx2z6zr4f932xqCthWW6UblL wg6kcFeqf8ZpZ+Pj5C6XYKm/VqxcmBBN218cYKNqdTvS2J2VbJlGrvRnaWV2WuGD kDcGjd1sM10ciynQaHj2TzMAK7XU1PKpBq8qsNt8+gCFKhJNw18= =tIw7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --el4wgfchiugcxe2e--
