Package: fonts-comic-neue Version: 2.3-1 Severity: normal Hi Adam et al.,
I think the fontconfig rule that we currently ship with the fonts-comic-neue package is a bit too harsh, as it replaces every call for Comic Sans with Comic Neue, effectively eradicating the latter from the system. I think it would be better if we merely registered Comic Neue as an "accepted" alias for Comic Sans, so if the user actually has the original font installed on his system (e.g. via ttf-mscorefonts-installer) then this is actually used and Comic Neue is merely used as a replacement if the original is missing. This would be less severe if Comic Neue was 100% metric-compatible to Comic Sans, but it isn't. And please consider that there may be people who like Comic Sans and still want to have Comic Neue installed additionally, without one font remiving the other. - Fabian -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'experimental'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
