Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
I intent to package `ttf-kochi-gothic' and `ttf-kochi-gothic-naga10'
High-Quality Free Japanese TrueType Font (Gothic). and I also intent
to package `ttf-kochi-mincho' and `ttf-kochi-mincho-naga10'
High-Quality Free Japanese TrueType Font (Mincho).
Note:
Previously I intented to package ttf-kochi, but I would divide into 2
packages gothic and mincho version. ttf-kochi-{gothic,mincho}-naga10
is original author's version which includes non-free hinting
information file `naga10' (see xfonts-naga10). I removed non-free
parts from ttf-kochi-{mincho,gothic}-naga10 and made
ttf-kochi-{mincho,gothic} which meets DFSG. Totally I intent to
package 4 packages.
Feature:
ttf-kochi-{mincho,gothic,mincho-naga10,gothic-naga10} is high
quality, free, mincho/gothic Japanese TrueType font. Its face is
very smooth and beautiful compared with current free Japanese
TrueType fonts. It has hinting information, so it's beautiful and no
jagged to display on the CRT. This font is suitable for both
printing and displaying Japanese characters.

(Original upstream author's ttf font includes xfonts-naga10
hinting information. xfonts-naga10's bdf fonts are non-free,
so I remove all non-free part of ttf data. I contacted with
upstream author, he said that if these non-free part were
removed, this font became apparently public domain font).
ttf-kochi-gothic-naga10: Naga10 Font License (non-free).
ttf-kochi-mincho-naga10: Naga10 Font License (non-free).
(Original upstream author's font. It adds xfonts-naga10
hinting information, and its license stands on naga10 font
license (see xfonts-naga10)).
