Yes, that was a mistake, maybe inspired from the debian package name. We should rename it. > Then it shouldn't be prefixed with "ttf".

Then what if it contains other types of fonts? Texlive-data/texfm-dist/fonts contains the following 20 subdirectories: afm cmap fea map ofm ovf pfm sfd tfm type1 cid enc lig misc opentype ovp pk source truetype vf (not all of them are fonts, some are just metrics and some I do not know). Would you suggest to use prefixes type1-, opentype-, pk- also? Only if the package contains exactly one format? I think modifying our package name rules for fonts will open a can of worms. Andreas
