I agree. But in 99.999% of cases, that building is conducted by the
font designer, developer or distributor. The average user ("B. L.
User", as Knuth would term him) not only does not know

Dear all,
As a matter of interest, what is broken in the SVN version of the Gnu
FreeFonts that is not broken in the current 2012 release version? I mean,
what sorts of difficulties should users be looking out for if they use the

Hi all,
I understand both sides. I will try to put some clarification.
It is not true that GNU FreeFont cannot be uninstalled from TeX Live
without removing a lot of packages. The magic is to use the -force
switch. It will uninstall just the font without taking dependences
into account and when o
Nobody is talking about responsibility or blame. Actually, everyone is
extremely grateful for and appreciative of everything you have done and are
doing with FreeFont!

Hi,
Here's what you *can* do.
It is free software. It's GPLed, but ... unless it is tested and
officially released by FreeFont project, it is NOT FREEFONT.
So...
What you can do, is
* Re-name the font,
* Provide a repository for its sources, freely available to anybody
* Make sure the document
Yikes.
Please please do not ever distribute the SVN version of FreeFont.
It is NOT the official release. It is BROKEN. It is for DEVELOPMENT
NOT DISTRIBUTION.
Please, do not force us to hide the SVN.

I just tried it and it seems no ligaturization happens at all:
