The first +package contains 22 families of Persian fonts (totally 249 fonts) and the +second one, 19 families (totally 228 fonts). I have created these fonts with +Python Programming Language using the X Series 2 TrueType fonts and Metafont +sources provided in the FarsiTeX distribution. + +The latest version of these packages were released on November 23, 2013 and +the licenses are SIL Open Font License (OFL). Please see the following links: + +https://bitbucket.org/dma8hm1334/persian-hm-xs2/downloads +https://bitbucket.org/dma8hm1334/persian-hm-ftx/downloads + +I had been informed that one of the CTAN users has copied one of the families +(totally 12 fonts) of the persian-hm-ftx package (HM_FElmi*) and uploaded them +under the name '"persian-modern" fonts' on that website. + +Therefore, I decided to complain to TeXLive and CTAN authorities and discuss +the situation with them, and finally they decided to remove the +"persian-modern" package from TeXLive and CTAN as well. + +Please search for "rm persian-modern, unresolvable conflict with persian-hm" +on: + +https://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/?pathrev=35036 + +You can also ask [private] ([private]) the TeXLive maintainer +or the CTAN administrator ([private]), yourself, if you would like to. + +I was informed some days ago that that user has uploaded the fonts on Github +under the name of "vafa" soon after their removal from TeXLive . Please see: + +https://github.com/vafa/persian-modern + +But after a few days, he deleted the above account and uploaded it under +the name of "zalmehran". Please see: + +https://github.com/zalmehran/persian-modern + +and surprisingly, I have noticed that he has deleted the above account as well +and uploaded it under another name as "vafak".
