Package: python3-reportlab
Version: 4.4.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
Can fonts-dejavu-core completely replace ttf-bitstream-vera in
python3-reportlab?
DejaVu is intended as a successor to Bitstream Vera. Bitstream Vera is outdated
and inferior in appearance to DejaVu.
Ultimately, Bitstream Vera could be completely removed from Debian.
Best,
Amr
