[NTG-context] Why Garamond and Symbol are not included in TeX Gyre ?

The license is such that any improvements made by the TeX Gyre project could not be included in texlive (the license prohibits commercial redistribution). That in turn made the font family undesirable candidate for TeX Gyre, I assume.

and the Symbol font will not benefit from Gyre-ification due to its symbolic (non-text) nature. Symbol fonts are basically Times-like typefaces with Greek glyphs and some additional symbols used in math; the Greek letters are already present in the TeX Gyre fonts, and most of the symbols should be added as part of the TeX Gyre Math project.

Hi, Taco, Thanks for your clear explanation! as had been pointed out by you, TeX Gyre project is a font development effort, not a redistribution. So why don't we develop our own flavor of Garamond?

So why don't we develop our own flavor of Garamond? Because there is enough work with the seven typefaces that are already being worked on?
