Hi,
Hi Reiner,
I noticed that the filename of the Terminus ttf file contains a version
number: TerminusTTF-4.46.0.ttf
This makes it difficult for other packages to depend on the font and
symlink to it (as the version can easily change).
Thank you for the report, I agree, and will try to get this fixed (atm
only for experimental, later for sid etc).
Either I just patch it the latest version of the upstream project,
or split it completely away from cool-retro-term. I'm not sure yet.
Can you please use a stable filename without version number?
Yes.
Or is the version supposed to be fixed and will never change?
I don't think so, but let me check upstream:
http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net
It looks like creating a new src/bin package called
fonts-terminus/fonts-terminus
would be the much better approach:
https://sid.ethz.ch/debian/fonts-terminus/
after ./configure; make; make otb
I end up with built fonts called:

Now it'll be fun how/with what name to ship, and which ones... help
welcome, also am on #debian-fonts on irc.
Not sure on the licensing of the source package though, they claim
OFL-1.1, however
need to inspect in detail.
Best,
Kind regards,
Reiner
