Bug#753839: texlive-fonts-extra: Please split Open Sans and either Raleway or all League fonts into separate packages
unarchive 753839 reopen 753839 thanks Hi, I disagree, but let's not get into that. (In LO I stand the completely opposite position - I am not going to ship fonts. The only exception is the LO-(internal)-developed OpenSymbol) You yourself say in the bug: "If anyone wants to package the fonts separately - in a separate source package! - I will remove them from TeX Live. hat was all." https://packages.debian.org/buster/fonts-open-sans is packaged, though, so you could do it at least for the Open Sans part. (LO upstream ships it in their stuff, will be gone from there in 6.0 rc1, though) Regards, Rene
