Hi, I'm a student in the School of Informatics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I'm interested in the project "Addition of Greek glyphs in Open Source Fonts" [1]. Specifically, I would propose to add Greek glyphs to wine fonts. Wine [2] is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD, and is used by thousands of Greek users. But it has a significant issue, its fonts do not contain Greek glyphs, and its users are forced to apply registry workarounds to use different fonts than the default ones [3]. I set up a github project describing the problem (including screenshots) and an initial version of my proposal here: https://github.com/artemisge/gsoc2019 I already added a few glyphs (for capital Greek letters ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜ), so that you can see the quality of my work, using the fontforge [4] program, which is recommended by wine developers. I have experience in graphics design using tools like Adobe Photoshop and Animate CC, and I participated in the development of many educational applications [5]. I'm able to organize my work using github branches, and I plan to file bug reports/pull requests in https://bugs.winehq.org, so that the results of this project get merged upstream in wine, for all users to benefit from them. Is my proposal of interest to the project mentors? Should I go continue writing it? If not, could I change it to something else, or, would it be possible to create a new "proposed project ideas" entry, based on my proposal?
