This is the only commit branch (`master`). The repo has not received updates since 2014.

## Source Files

The repository contains:
- `NTR.sfd` — FontForge source file
- `NTR.ufo` — Unified Font Object source
- `OFL.txt` — SIL Open Font License

The font covers Telugu script plus Latin (Latin borrowed from Varela Round by Joe Prince / Admix Designs).

## Build System

No build scripts, Makefile, or other automation were found in the repository. The source files (SFD and UFO) can be compiled with FontForge or fontmake respectively, but no build system is defined.

## config.yaml Status

No `config.yaml` is present in the google/fonts directory for this family, and no build configuration exists upstream. A config.yaml would need to be created if the family is to be rebuilt.

## Notes

- The font is a Telugu handwriting font inspired by the art style of Bapu, developed by Purushoth Kumar Guttula (2013) and made available by Silicon Andhra.
- The Latin glyphs are derived from Varela Round (Joe Prince, Admix Designs).
- The project lead is Appaji Ambarisha Darbha (Hyderabad, India).
- The repo has been dormant since November 2014. There is no evidence of more recent upstream activity.
- Font version in the binary is 1.0.5 (ttfautohint v1.2.25).
- No cached clone found in `/mnt/shared/upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/`.

## Update (2026-04-24) — Override config.yaml

**Model**: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context)

Upstream has both compatible sources (.ufo) and legacy `.sfd`/`.vfb` archives at the pinned commit `1268910` (upstream legacy: .sfd in repo root). Added an override `config.yaml` in `ofl/ntr/` that references the compatible sources only (`NTR.ufo`). The legacy archives are retained upstream for historical reference but are not consumed by gftools-builder. `google-fonts-sources` auto-detects the override on the next regeneration of crater's `targets.json`.
