Should we not first make sure the license is really GPLv3? At the moment the URL https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/nimbus-sans-l does not work. But there are other sources which suggest that this font might actually be GPLv2 instead, see for example "Licensing" at https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/nimbus-sans-l Or see https://www.1001fonts.com/nimbus-sans-l-font.html Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, Managing Director: Wolfgang Denk HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: w...@denx.de The White Rabbit put on his spectacles.
