+# Dhyana
+
+## Summary
+
+Dhyana is a Lao sans-serif typeface designed by Vernon Adams. The upstream repo at github.com/vernnobile/DhyanaFont contains UFO and SFD sources for both Regular and Bold weights. No config.yaml exists. Vernon Adams passed away, so the upstream repo is inactive.

+## google/fonts History
+
+- Initial commit (90abd17b4): Font binaries added (both Regular and Bold)
+- c8f729cbd (2024-01-14): Simon Cozens added the repository_url source block
+- 9a14639f3 (2026-02-25): Commit hash added to source block in batch update
+
+The font binaries have not been updated since the initial commit (only a chmod -x fix in 49fbebd3d).
+
+## Status
+
+- **repository_url**: Correct (https://github.com/vernnobile/DhyanaFont)
+- **commit**: `600f15f` is the latest commit (HEAD), confirmed correct
+- **config_yaml**: Missing - needs to be created (either in upstream or as override)
+- **Overall**: missing_config (has gftools-buildable UFO sources but needs config.yaml)
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Status should remain `missing_config`. The UFO sources are present for both weights and could be used with gftools-builder. Since Vernon Adams has passed away and the repo is inactive, an override config.yaml in google/fonts is the only practical approach. A config would need to reference both UFO sources:
+
+```yaml
+sources:
+ - Regular/src/Dhyana.ufo
+ - Bold/src/Dhyana-Bold.ufo
+familyName: Dhyana
+buildVariable: False
+```
+
+Note: The non-standard directory structure (sources in `Regular/src/` and `Bold/src/` subdirectories) may require special handling.
+
+## Override Config YAML
+
+An override `config.yaml` has been added to the google/fonts family directory. Contents:
+
+```yaml
+sources:
+ - Regular/src/Dhyana.ufo
+ - Bold/src/Dhyana-Bold.ufo
+buildVariable: false
+```
+
+This override config enables gftools-builder to compile the font from upstream sources.
