Package: gem
Severity: serious
Justification: contains arial.ttf, which is not distributable

The gem package contains /usr/lib/pd/doc/gem/05.text/arial.ttf, which
has this embedded copyright information:

Typeface © The Monotype Corporation plc. Data © The Monotype Corporation
plc/Type Solutions Inc. 1990-1992. All Rights Reserved

Please:

      * remove it from the gem package and the equivalent file from the
        source package.
      * inform upstream that they should not be distributing the two
        copies of Arial, except as arial32.exe
              * http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/faq8.htm
              * http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/eula.htm
      * if arial.ttf is required:
              * depend on msttcorefonts
              * make the programs check that Arial/etc are available
                when starting
              * move the package to contrib
      * otherwise suggest a free font - bitstream vera for example

I also notice that the source package contains Courier New and Times New
Roman, with the same issues.
