Chandas (typeface)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

not indication of notability and no references beyond a webpage advertising the font, article reads like a commercial for a hobby font. Google returned no indications of notability but placing it here as it is a font designed for non-english languages and so i thought it I might be missing some non-english references that would establish noteability Ajbpearce (talk) 17:00, 10 October 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Weak keep. While there is no notability guideline specifically on typefaces, Chandas is a verified pre-installed font in a notable operating system, Ubuntu. Also, because the font is released under an open source license, I highly doubt that there are any commercial intentions, as the nominator is suggesting.--Hongkongresident (talk) 07:15, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable font taking Hongkongresident at face value. JJB 02:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment It does seem that this is one of the indic fonts installed by default on Ubuntu linux, but as far as I can tell the only action required for this was that one developer working for ubuntu found the font and added it to the indic fonts package. (see http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/t/ttf-indic-fonts/ttf-indic-fonts_0.5.0-0ubuntu1/changelog) While ubuntu is clearly a notable OS, I am unconvinced that the mere fact that this open source font is included with it is sufficient to establish its notability.
