I agree that it might make sense to finally upload fonts-liberation 2.00.1 to unstable. The loss of the Sans Narrow variant can certainly be coped with, given how bad it is hinted and the overall better quality (and license) of the 2.x branch. However, I 'd like to know upstream's view on the general status of the liberation fonts first: @Pravin: What is the current upstream status of the liberation fonts package? The repository has not seen any activity for more than two years now. Are the liberation fonts considered obsolete and superseeded by the Croscore fonts (Arimo, Tinos and Cousine)? The latter are now packaged in Debian as part of src:fonts-noto and covered by the SIL Open Font License. So, what do you think, does it still make sense to maintain the liberation fonts in Debian or should we rather transition to the Croscore fonts instead? Thanks, Fabian
