Package: glob2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

glob2 include the font MD King KhammuRabi in the file sans.ttf. I
suspect this font is a modified version of Arial, at least the Latin
alphabet in the font looks exactly like Arial. The font also contains
the string "Arial", several mentions of Microsoft including a link to
http://www.microsoft.com/truetype/ and a lot of Verisign certificate
legalese, all further evidence that this is in fact Arial.

I don't understand what the upstream is doing here. Looking at their CVS
(file doc/source.txt), it seems they noticed the problem in 2003 and
intended to replace the font with FreeSans, but their latest release
still includes MD King KhummaRabi.
