Personally I would recommend against removing a valuable font entirely simply on the grounds that we don't have an editable-enough form of it when the form we have is precisely what people actually *have* been editing. Sources for Cardo *do* exist at https://github.com/googlefonts/CardoFont/tree/main/sources but file names and repo history suggest they were created using the "non source" files already present in Debian as their source. Similarly, there's a derivative TeX font on CTAN (https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/fbb) with no obvious indication that its author had access to more "source" than Debian currently ships. Even Debian itself was formerly applying patches directly to the .TTF file (bug #1128206). Regards, Timothy Gaskell
