Hi,

the font is very low quality and contains only us-ascii characters; not
even latin-1 is supported.

Are you sure it's worth packaging?

Hi,

My main motivation to package it was that people are doing some fun
stuff with it. 

Like this:

  
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/url/jakevdp.github.com/downloads/notebooks/XKCD_plots.ipynb

and this:

  http://raj.blog.archive.org/tag/ipython/

and all of them seem to use this font. 

It is mainly for fun stuff and not for everyday use as main font. If
more folks feel that it is not worth packaging, then I am okay to close
the bug and move on.

Thanks
Ramakrishnan
