To be clear, it is perfectly acceptable for upstream to use the .ttf files as their source format, modifying them directly with FontForge or their favourite font editor if they so choose. That they are binary based files instead of text based files does not prevent them from being the source for these fonts. http://www.inventati.org/frx/essays/softfrdm/whatissource.html Of course, if they chose a text based format then you could provide patches for them, which would be an advantage of text based formats. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
