Fair enough, +1 for a simple removal (unless there is *great* objection, and strong justification to retain it for it OTF feature support). Looking at its history over on the AOO Bugzilla i89682, they were included more as a demonstration font. And it initially wasn't even under OFL, though our later builds are. But it would need a release note, with a suggestion for users to pick up current Gentium and Gentium Book family builds from SIL directly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
