So, to clarify few things:

 * The OTF format files are shipped now as well. I have decided to not create a
special subpackage for the Type1/AFM files, even though I was considering it
firstly. Creating this package would create a lot of confussion for many people
out there, and given current state of the problem I didn't want to add oil into
fire. The OTF files are not so big (for these days), so they are shipped right
along the *.t1 and *.afm files.

 * I didn't go to FESco for permission, because it would be a waste of time for
both me and them. There's not other solution at the moment so we could choose
from. Current state is the one that I have to support if I don't want to break
things for our users, and FESco approval doesn't have any significance right
now for this case.

Anyway, please report any problems that you might find. Thank you! ;)

P.S.: I have merged the Nimbus Sans and Nimbus Sans Narrow, as you requested
Nicolas. :)
