Michał Masłowski, Trisquel has fonts that cannot be built by anyone else than
the original developers since they don't publish a source?

That seems to go against the FSF's guidelines http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html as it appears to indicate that fonts in free GNU/Linux distributions must themselves also be free and have source available.

Quote:

"Information for practical use" includes software, documentation, fonts, and other data that has direct functional applications. It does not include artistic works that have an aesthetic (rather than functional) purpose, or statements of opinion or judgment.

All information for practical use in a free distribution must be available in source form. ("Source" means the form of the information that is preferred for making changes to it.)

The information, and the source, must be provided under an appropriate free license.
