I have viewed the font with gfontview. It looks OK in a few sizes and not
so OK in some others. So I'm guessing the hinting is not perfect yet
(either that, or this is a limitation of libttf's handling of the hinting
... hmm, as an aside, I wonder why gfontview uses libttf2 (Freetype 1) and
not libfreetype6 (Freetype 2)?

Dustin will have to answer that.

Yes.

I question the name free-ttfonts. The convention seems to be:
ttf[-foundryname]-fontorfamilyname
I don't see any value in the designation 'free'. Of course everything in
Debian main is free. I also don't see any point in bundling fonts from
different sources. So why not simply ttf-dustismo?
