Package: libsfml-dev Version: 1.6+dfsg1-2+b1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1
Hi, In the SFML fonts tutorial, it is mentioned that "SFML provides a default built-in one, which is Arial with a character size of 30." http://sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/graphics-fonts.php The file is indeed present in: src/SFML/Graphics/Arial.hpp It can be extracted trivially: #include <stdio.h> static const char DefaultFontData[] = { #include "Arial.hpp" }; int main(void) { FILE* out = fopen("arial.ttf", "w"); fwrite(DefaultFontData, sizeof(DefaultFontData), 1, out); } The version in Debian carries that file AFAICT. This brings 2 issues: - The font is not DFSG-compliant and needs to be replaced. - The license of the font may be incompatible with the program that uses SFML. For instance, if we replace this font with Liberation-Sans (GPL2+exceptions), which is metrically compatible with Arial, the resulting library will not be compabible with a GPL-without-exception application. A work-around is to load the font from an external file. http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-legal@lists.debian.org/msg36597.html -- Sylvain -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libsfml-dev depends on: ii libsfml-audio1.6 1.6+dfsg1-2+b1 ii libsfml-graphics1.6 1.6+dfsg1-2+b1 ii libsfml-network1.6 1.6+dfsg1-2+b1 ii libsfml-system1.6 1.6+dfsg1-2+b1 ii libsfml-window1.6 1.6+dfsg1-2+b1 libsfml-dev recommends no packages.
