So then distribute in main the document containing the free fonts, and in non-free the document containing free and non-free fonts. Users who wish to only use main aren't going to be interested in the non-free fonts, and a document comparing them is going to be fairly useless, whereas a document comparing the free fonts available in main is useful. > > Just distribute the recreations.

If this was a case of a quicly reacting upstream, I would have thought that the tex source for the PDFs would have materialized during the course of this discussion. [I mean, if the upstream is able to quickly react, surely they've got them and can give them to someone?] Don Armstrong -- You could say she lived on the edge...
