Existence of upstream VFB alone doesn't mean a lack of source. A TTF can be a source even when it is built from other files. > It is furthermore the case because the font contains Visual True Type > hinting information, which is sourceful in vfb but is compiled to > bytecode in the TTF. OK, so it makes the TTF non-source. This information was needed when you submitted the bug. I know a guy who edited hinting bytecode assembly in fontforge manually in the TTF file he released, but that was an exceptional case. > So I am reopening this bug.

Well, Debian BTS doesn't have clear documentation about not-a-bug cases. But it doesn't mean such bugs should be kept open forever. > I volunteer to make the change but I expect that you would revert the > change (as you are about to do for other fonts).
