There are hundreds of font files that have overlap. TeX Live will not remove all their fonts, so there must be a way to have it coexist and have flexibility on installation and deinstallation of fonts.
For most of these fonts the user is free to choose what to do via package management. Only a few packages have unneeded dependencies on fonts. birdfont is one of these. Using font-config and fallback is the most elegant and dynamic way and allows dropping the depency and also no more need for need for including the TFF. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593711 Title: Drop unneeded font dependency in birdfont To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/birdfont/+bug/1593711/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
