Maybe replacing Garamond with Gentium would be the best choice, while there is not free alternate more close to Garamond
Anyway, Claude Garamond died at year 1561 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garamond), i can't doubt a free typeface based on his original drawings (if and when found) can be cc-nc-sa since they are public domain from a long time, even knowing Adobe, Agfa, ITC, etc., has distribution licences of their Garamond digital typefaces. ----------------------------- On 12/27/08, Luca Bruno <lu...@debian.org> wrote: > Upstream told me that he won't release it under a free license. > I'm thus considering this font non-free and non-distributable. > Below his response... > > Begin forwarded message: > > Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 21:01:58 +0100 > From: Jan Thor <jan AT janthor.de> > To: Luca Bruno <lucab AT debian.org> > Subject: Re: jGaramond font license > > Luca Bruno schrieb: >> >> Hi, >> A debian user has just requested the inclusion of your jGaramond font >> in the distribution.
