 They are useful for printing and AFAIK the current latex-cjk (or was it
 cjk-latex?) use those fonts. Further more, the ttf-arphic-{uming|ukai}
 fonts are derived from those. So, I guess we should keep them for a while.


AFAIK, some programs and documents still uses hard-coded font names and
latex-cjk-chinese-arphic-* still build-depends on these fonts. So I
suggest we should keep them, too.

 They need a new maintainer, would any of you like to join the Debian
 fonts team and adopt these packages?

 I can maintain them (and I am a member of the Debian fonts team).


Arne has very good knowledge of handling fonts and is familiar with
Arphic fonts, he is the best choice :)

Quoting pabs (p...@perthimc.asn.au):

 ttf-bpg-georgian-fonts:
 
 This sounds like it is no longer needed by d-i:
 
 http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUIFonts
 
 debian-boot folks, can you confirm that? 

Confirmed.


 
 Can you provide contacts for people interested in Georgian who might
 like to join the Debian fonts team and adopt this package?
 
 Or would people interested in Georgian suggest removal of
 ttf-bpg-georgian-fonts from Debian?


Should be Aiet Kolkhi.

Correct, Neither of these fonts is used by the installer anymore. No 
objection from the D-I team to remove them from the archive.

And if they are kept in the archive, it would probably be best to drop 
their udebs.


Davide: are there any other font packages we no longer use but which still 
provide udebs? If there are, could you perhaps file BRs against them 
requesting to drop the udebs?

Cheers,
FJP

ttf-arphic-uming is needed to build ttf-cjk-compact udeb.
ttf-cjk-compact has some Chinese/Japanese/Korean fonts for GUI
debian-installer.

It's nice Arne will keep maintaining ttf-arphic-* fonts. :)

Thanks,
