And about 10 in the pipeline to be packaged by members of the Debian Fonts Task Force. More open fonts are planned for release or re-licensing in the near future as well. Here's the font metadata for Breip as currently shown in the Alioth pkg-fonts team ongoing review: http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/fnt-c2ccc8555857d30ae02b5ffa20e5209e.html BTW, Mauro, can you please make sure you also ship in your package the upstream font source and documentation available on http://stalefries.googlepages.com/fontsbreip Cheers, -- Nicolas Spalinger http://scripts.sil.org http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/ https://launchpad.net/people/fonts signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

ttf-breip with SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE
Hello There, I recently adopted and packaged the font ttf-breip which is already on the debian repositories on the main section. My sponsor was in doubt about the licence of the font (SIL), and double-checked if its dsfg-free or not with other DD's and some of them told her it was free and some told her that it wasn't free. Also i've read a thread on this mailing list about the gentium font with the same license [1], but i still have no answers about this font and its license. So should the ttf-breip font keep in main or should be moved to non-free? Sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand what i am asking here [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/11/msg00314.html Thanks, Mauro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
