Please consider using that and closing this bug.
I disagree: Debian is (and ought to be) an *integrated* distribution,
and all
of its packages should really work together without lots of arcane
fiddling.
The referenced package seems to be an easy way to generate the few
additional
files which, when included in the ttf-gentium package, would make it
a
"mature" package which works well together with the rest of debian.
If you
are really opposed to adding this to the ttf-gentium package, then
there
should be a ttf-gentium-latex package which provides the required
files for
LaTeX interoperability -- but when the files are small, why force
people to
do extra stuff to make everything Just Work?
No one should be forced to generate new debian packages or do special
configuration in order just to make the parts of debian work well
together.
i agree. but that referenced package is not yet in debian.
i'll have a look at it once it's in. it's fine to leave it open,
however
you can't enforce latex support on truetype fonts to everyone.
this is something not you, or me can decide for some of the fonts.
the best would be to discuss this on debian-devel and to find a
consistent solution for all truetype fonts in debian.
yours,
guerkan
