The URL in your font.init is http://scripts.sil.org/awami which doesn't seem to work properly... https://software.sil.org/awami/ seems to be a better link.

Are you able to submit this as a patch to gerrit? As per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial ?

As for doing it myself, I did try. But I got stuck while following this, on step 3 php compile-font-repo.php, I get A copy of your installation's LocalSettings.php must exist and be readable in the source directory . I have no idea what that's about, so I filed the request.

@Reedy I unfortunately do not have the required technical skills or the time to complete it, otherwise I would not have requested someone else to do it. I sincerely do apologize. I have tried to complete as many steps as I could. :(

@Juan90264 Sorry to bother you, If you could help here.
