Right now if a font has sources in a format that can not be processed by FLOSS tools we use the prebuilt version. Long term we'll probably have to require active font projects to change their base format, or drop them for the distro (I don't see a huge problem in shipping fonts no one updates in pre-built format. That just means the first person that does a change will have to take care of this problem). > Nicolas, for some strange reason I'm not getting emails from you at > all. I happen to send mails through the French postal service smtp servers. They have several millions of users. So every once in a while a spammer gets through. For this reason, and since it's not a well-known US brand, some neolithic blacklists regularly blackhole them (of course they wouldn't even think to do the same to yahoo or gmail, even after their capcha disaster). You're probably behind a gateway that blindly trusts such a list. You can see they do make it to Red Hat's listservers. > Nor did I get Gustavo's recent emails, like the 'ivory tower' > ones that also don't appear in > http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-fonts-list/2008-July/thread.html > for some reason..? Some of those posts were not CCed to public lists, and I got tired of forwarding them. I don't think anything earth-shattering was omitted.
