Research direction

Start with the Fontsource CLI and the Yantar source repository linked in the issue, checking the v1.000 release and the listed variable and static font paths. Confirm the SIL OFL 1.1 license and package the requested Yantar styles and assets; done means the font is included with its stated variants and licensing information.

  • Static styles: Yantar Dot and Yantar Dash, each in Light (300), Regular (400) and Bold (700), TTF and WOFF2 in fonts/static.
  • 434 characters: Latin with diacritics (covers the Google Fonts Latin Core set) and Cyrillic (covers Cyrillic Core: Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Serbian, Macedonian, Kazakh, Tajik).
  • Release: https://github.com/Goryuchnick/yantar/releases/tag/v1.000
