Hmmmm.... ttf2pk - convert a TrueType font into TeX’s PK format ttf2tfm - build TeX metric files from a TrueType font These sounds like what TeX needs for sure. As I did googling with these filenames with upstream, I found bug 344299 from 2005, | Not released, but the new ttf2pk/ttf2tfm version in the savannah CVS has | new features which is required by other programs. Please update from | CVS: | | $ cvs co :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/freetype freetype1-contrib | | Note that ttf2pk/ttf2tfm is not a part of freetype1-tools anymore, but | splitted as freetype1-contrib. It looks like you guys include these source to freetype package as an additional source or additional independent package. Without that, removing freetype1 package seems a bit too rough.
