I am sorry, I was mistaken. The license I quoted did not grant the right to modify the font and was thus still the same spurious license that kept the font out of Debian. Initially, that is, because the font is now on CTAN with an improved license: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utopia/ Now, we could ask X.org upstream to upgrade their copy of the font to the one found on CTAN (or at least upgrade the licensing terms) so we could include it in the xfonts-scalable Debian package. But then, the font is already in the /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/adobe/utopia/ directory in the texlive-fonts-recommended package. So, I became curious and checked if it was the same case for the Bitstream Charter font: $ md5sum /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/*.pfb 6c8c18c1e1a138641a52c29f0b878445 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchb8a.pfb 7f969820a9c1085027a23beb06f6f457 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchbi8a.pfb 539b6fed90ef630e9049bc13079bc598 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchr8a.pfb 12369bddf1a14581d11fcdbf86619250 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchri8a.pfb $ md5sum /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/c06[34]*.pfb 6c8c18c1e1a138641a52c29f0b878445 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/c0632bt_.pfb 7f969820a9c1085027a23beb06f6f457 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/c0633bt_.pfb 539b6fed90ef630e9049bc13079bc598 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/c0648bt_.pfb 12369bddf1a14581d11fcdbf86619250 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/c0649bt_.pfb Et voila, we already have this font duplicated in the archive. The question is what to do with these duplicates? Remove them from texlive-fonts-recommended, make that package depend on xfonts-scalable and add symlinks? Please note that there are also other duplicate fonts between the gsfonts package, the ones shipped in the ghostscript tarball and the ones in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw. Back to topic: We should either take Adobe Utopia from CTAN and add it to xfonts-scalable or add a fontconfig file to texlive-fonts-recommended that registers this font with fontconfig (that's be five lines of code). In both cases we'd have duplicates between xfonts-scalable and texlive-fonts-recommended, so what to do with them? - Fabian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
