No. Even if the fonts were excluded, google code requires that all code hosted there use one of a small number of licenses, and the Lucent Public License 1.02 is not one of those licenses. I'm sorry about the font situation but I can't get excited about it. How hard is it for people to run rm? If there were a set of fonts of equal quality with a more liberal license that I could substitute, I would, but anti-aliased fonts look like crap to me and everything seems to be antialiased these days. Only one person has ever contacted me about pain relating to fonts. That person was concerned about whether it was permissible to distribute the fonts as part of plan9port itself. In response I got explicit permission to do so and amended http://swtch.com/usr/local/plan9/font/luc/NOTICE etc. I believe this was for FreeBSD; now there is a package. I realize that Debian doesn't like the font license even as it is now; too bad for them. That doesn't preclude someone else making .deb files and hosting them on their own server.
