Sorry, my understanding of Debian Policy and its spirit is that it is wrong for there to be multiple copies of the same font in Debian (or Ubuntu). Since birdfont needs Roboto, it needs to depend on the existing fonts-roboto package instead of shipping yet another copy of Roboto. Therefore, I am closing this bug.
It really sounds like a bug in texlive-fonts-extra for it to ship duplicate copies of system fonts. It should look into using symlinks to the system fonts like birdfont does. https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg- fonts/birdfont.git/commit/?h=debian/sid&id=91d19a9 ** Changed in: birdfont (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Invalid -- 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
