I am having an almost live > conversation right now about related issues at BTW the Fedora font packaging guidelines have been very carefully written to prohibit the “solution” proposed : when upstreams move to a newer, better font format you have to support it in your application and not cheat by bundling a version converted to some other format with your app. The reason being that all such conversions are lossy, they get out of sync with upstream, they bloat the distribution, and you end up with a giant pile of fonts in every possible format, each one with different properties and problems, driving users crazy because they don't understand why the “same” font behaves differently in different apps (or sometimes different parts of the same app). TexLive is unfortunately a pathological example of the morass you can create by letting application authors procrastinate on supporting newer font formats. Besides we have lots of fonts in otf format in Fedora, and matplotlib can not use any of them right now. Are you going to bundle them in another format too?
