Hi,
I've tried to apply and build these fonts. Apl 385 applied and built
without any issue, but it seems that apl333 sources have changed since
you posted your patch.
Apparently, they update the archives in-place, which is a bad practice
for distros such as ours, since it will break our packaging system at
an unknown time in the future. Do you know of any other source for
these fonts with versionned archives? Do you know how to contact the
author, to ask them for a versionned link?

Sadly I can't contact them, because they leave no contact at the site.
:(
I' ll email you if I can find a way to retrieve source
deterministically, thanks.

If you don't find another method, you could upload the source code to
archive.org and make the Guix package fetch from there. We've done that
before to work around this kind of problem.

What have been done recently for case where the upstream is not
available anymore is: convert to Git and save to Software Heritage.
For instance, see commit 74cb33c22818b25d1b9c6d576352fc8249832d34 and
<http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/43426>
especially this snippet:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ (cd /tmp; tar xf $(guix build -S gdsl); guix hash -r /tmp/gdsl-1.8)
0a52g12d9sf9hhcyvwfd7xdazj2a9i9jh97cnlqf2ymvwnvjk1g0
$ guix hash -r $(./pre-inst-env guix build -S gdsl)
0a52g12d9sf9hhcyvwfd7xdazj2a9i9jh97cnlqf2ymvwnvjk1g0
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Obviously, need tweaks for the issue at hand. :-)
All the best,
simon

well, in the end I opted for not inheriting and putting the font into
the apl module, where the third one from this web page already exists.
It turns out there was a related bug report from years ago, which I am
closing at the same occasion.

Hey Andreas,
Thanks for the follow-up, I can't believe I missed the existing apl2741
font, thanks for adjusting my patch so it ended up in the right
place. I'm glad this helped resolve a much older issue also!
Cheers,
Lee
