sponsor wanted - ec-fonts-mftraced (lilypond's fonts)

2004-11-15 Thread Pedro Kroger
I'd to have a sponsor for the package ec-fonts-mftraced. The new version of lilypond (2.4) depends on it. Without this package the new and much improved version of lilypond will not be usable in debian. These fonts are not part of the main lilypond distribution, hence the different package name.
