Hi everyone,I was browsing through the third party modules, and noticed that there are a few packages that provide typescripts for fonts. I think that it will be worthwhile to clean up and merge these modules, so as to reduce the amount of clutter.
I am listing all the font related modules below, and asking if these are still needed; or should some of these be moved to an obsolete/ branch or merged with other modules.
- Chinese font support (by Wolfgang Schuster; provides fonts, perhaps merge with cwTeX font module, also by Wolfgang)
- GFSDidot Opentype fonts (I cannot browse through that! Should this be moved to obsolete branch?)
- Greek (by Thomas Schmitz; provides fonts as well as typescripts, so this module cannot be merged)
- Storm font support (Again, I cannot browse through that. Should this be moved to obsolete branch?)
- Lucida bright font support (by Vit Zyka: do we still need these support files, or can this be moved to obsolete?)
- Support for cwTeX fonts (by Wolfgang Schuster provides fonts and typescripts. Can this be merged with Chinese font support?)
- Typescript (by Wolfgang Schuster, provides typescripts for a variety of fonts. I think that all modules that only distribute font typescripts should be merged with this one.)
- URW Garamond support (by Peter Münster; is this still needed? If so, this should be merged with the typescript module)
- URW Gothic support (by Taco Hoekwater; is this still needed? If so, this should be merged with the typescript module).
What do others feel about such pruning and merging of packages? Aditya
