To be clear, it is perfectly acceptable for upstream to use the .ttf files as their source format, modifying them directly with FontForge or their favourite font editor if they so choose. That they are binary based files instead of text based files does not prevent them from being the source for these fonts. http://www.inventati.org/frx/essays/softfrdm/whatissource.html Of course, if they chose a text based format then you could provide patches for them, which would be an advantage of text based formats. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Bug#699433: Missing source
Package: ttf-aenigma Version: 0.0.20080510.dfsg-2 Severity: normal This package provides fonts as .ttf files only (and description .txt files). Compare to for instance package fonts-tlwg which provides FontForge .sfd files. You should ask the author for source files used to generate those fonts, and include them. By the way: I added latin accented letters to font BobcaygeonBRK.ttf. I'm sure a professional would do something much better, but still it would be nice for us latins if you could include them (better than nothing!): http://pietrobattiston.it/t/Bobcaygeon Finally: the homepage http://www.aenigmafonts.com/ is (currently?) down. (by the way, thanks for the package, those fonts are great) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (400, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
