    I tested the font part of the Plugin Pack and it didn't work.

    Did you report a bug on the Plugin Pack module?

    It's been a long time since I used this module. Not much activity in a little over a year from multiple maintainers. Unless someone steps up to help with the issue queue and maintain the module, I agree it is a good idea to deprecate this module in favor of CKEditor 5 Plugin Pack . For now, I added a note in this module's project page recommendation CKEditor 5 Plugin Pack for new builds.

    I would like to get a D11 compatible release for people needing to update before marking the module obsolete and unsupported. I will try to make time in the coming week to get the new release out.

    Versions 2.0.0-beta5 and 8.x-1.5 have been released with D11 compatibility. I went over the issue queue and updated several issues. None of my current projects use this module. I do not have much time to actively develop the module. Other maintainers might be in a similar situation as there has been little (commit) activity in over a year. Therefore, I have marked the module as obsolete and added a note on the project page to use https://www.drupal.org/project/ckeditor5_plugin_pack instead. For features that were offered by ckeditor_font, but are not present in ckeditor5_plugin_pack, please file issues (and help implement them) in the CKEditor 5 Plugin Pack issue queue .

    I left the maintenance status to minimally maintained for now. I will keep an eye on the issue queue for a little longer. For anyone interested is becoming co-maintainer, please help with the existing issues first. No need to have commit access to the project to help move it forward.
