description:
The Lobster font took a different approach. The new OpenType format gives
us the possibility to have multiple versions of each letter, and that's
exactly what we are doing: Instead of compromising the design of our
letters to force connections, we do what lettering artist do. We draw many
versions of each letter and a lot of different letter-pairs
(aka "ligatures") so we always use the best possible variation of each
letter depending of the context of the letter inside each word. All this
happens automatically in any browser that supports ligatures.

This is to unretire the package:

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Parag AN(पराग) 2023-10-05 07:36:45 UTC 
Few more things.
1) You can add %license OFL.txt
2) I see version embedded in otf file is 2.100 whereas this srpm uses 1.7
I see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/impallari/The-Lobster-Font/master/sources/Lobster.glyphs shows
versionMajor = 2;
versionMinor = 100;


Can you check with upstream about this versioning issue? Like which version is correct?
Comment 3 Benson Muite 2023-10-05 09:52:15 UTC 
Thanks. 2.100 seems correct. Made a pull request:
https://github.com/impallari/The-Lobster-Font/pull/13
In which case it is already packaged:
https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/lobster2
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/texlive/texlive-lobster2/
