Description:
GFS Galatea Bold revives in digital form an older hot metal typeface from the
1920’s, which can be found in older Greek type specimens named simply as FAT
type. The font was used as a bold companion of Didot Greek (Apla/Monotype 92).
It has many similarities with Didot Greek (Απλά) in design, but it differs in
its reduced stroke contrast, the use of a lunar lower case epsilon (reminiscent
of the similar epsilon in Porson Greek) and in sturdier stems and slab serifs.
An experimental projection of these characteristics to a lighter version has
led to the introduction of GFS Galatea Regular. The name Galatea is a tribute
to the author and feminist Galatea Kazantzakis (1881–1962) as samples of the
typeface were found in several of her books.

The packaging conforms to
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/935
as approved by FPC on 2020-02-13.
It is one of the test packages that were used to refine the new packaging
guidelines

The new fonts packaging build chain is now live in koji. For example:

If the review is fast enough the package may make the FC32 100% Code Complete
