Hi, They are required by those packages, true, but they can also be used separately in documents. That's why the package needs splitting : 1. users and packages that need the whole set can install all the subpackages (via a metapackage if necessary) 2. users and packages that only need a single font family install only the single subpackage Especially since aliasing means some of those fonts have more side effects than others, installing the whole set all the time won't help anyone. (any Helvetica variant has *huge* side effects) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list -- fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to fonts-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
