These fonts are already available in Debian package `fonts-urw-base35`,
currently on testing repository. I don't know if it will be backported to
stretch (current stable).
Debian has also packaged `extractpdfmark` (we get a warning if it's missing).
Since Fedora 27 there's the `urw-base35-fonts` package, which does not include
OpenType font files at the moment but it seems it will in the near future, see
[these comments](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496466#c18).
Let's wait and see if they will be included in the release of Fedora 27
(currently in beta).
extractpdfmark is not packaged in Fedora, but can be easily compiled. I would
not add any instruction in the CG, which is already heavy and hard to maintain.
In case you are interested, the commands are
[here](https://github.com/fedelibre/LilyDevOS/blob/master/fedora/mkosi.postinst#L43).

** [issues:#4998] Doc: CG - update information for compiling LP with regard to
new URW++ fonts**
**Status:** Accepted
**Created:** Wed Nov 16, 2016 03:44 PM UTC by pkx166h
**Last Updated:** Wed Dec 14, 2016 05:11 PM UTC
**Owner:** nobody
This came out of issue 4991.
We need to update the CG to include information about the URW++ fonts that are
now possible to use when compiling LP snippets and where configure will post a
warning for those users that do not have these fonts installed.
Currently the fonts we need are a tiny subset of a much larger font
family(families?) so instructions to install just these few fonts as described
in https://codereview.appspot.com/315850043/ is, at the moment, not so simple.
There is a discussion about either documenting how to 'wget' the specific
commits from the URW++ git repo or perhaps tar the files up so developers can
download them from the LP website. That is still TBD.
