Lanka Glyphsets
The standard: Sinhala + Tamil glyphset tiers and glyph naming standard.
Defines what a conformant font must contain — four cumulative Sinhala tiers (Kernel/Core/Plus/Pro) plus a Tamil glyphset.
A map of the repos and apps that make Sri Lankan-script type happen at Mooniak: from the glyphset standard, through the build system, out to the apps people actually use.
Some of these are public today; several are still private or unpublished — marked on each card below.
Status current as of July 2026 — private repos in particular move fast. Full write-up in TOOLS.md.
Separately, Bookpress pulls Lanka Glyphsets-conformant fonts directly for its Sinhala shaping tests — a real-world proving ground for the standard, outside the mnik/fontpipe distribution path.

Shared dev toolkit: docs, design-stage tracking, glyph charts, test texts.
The toolkit every font-repos project draws on — project-status conventions, release channels, and glyph charts built from Lanka Glyphsets data.
mooniak-font-tools — the build system behind every font repo.
Homebase for the ~90 repos in font-repos/: builds, QAs,
proofs, and publishes each one, and generates channel-index.json — the
feed fontpipe reads.
GitHub-native font package manager — desktop distribution app.
Reads mnik's channel index plus each repo's
fontpackage.json; installs and auto-updates fonts system-wide.
Book-typesetting desktop app, Typst-powered.
Not yet pushed to GitHub. Lays out actual trilingual (Sinhala/Tamil/English) books — the most concrete real-world consumer of the whole font pipeline.
Consumer super-app: font library, canvas, glossary, text converter.
The font library tool is the end-user face of the whole pipeline — a font installer built on fontpipe's distribution technology. Alpha stage, waitlist open.
Public showcase site for every Mooniak typeface — src.mooniak.com.
The visible, human-facing output of the pipeline: a static Astro site
whose data is entirely generated and pushed by mnik showcase --publish.
