No, I only occasionally check ftp.gnu.org for new version.  Frankly, I'm
no longer much interested in the issue and additionally intlfonts Debian
package is offered for adoption.  If you'd like to ask them yourself, I
can try to find the corresponding e-mails from Kenichi Handa.

I think I was suffering from temporary insanity.

Have you asked him or rms since?  RMS is no fan of obscure licensing
either, and these are being distributed by GNU.

I can't see any font present in emacs-intl-fonts package not being
present in xfonts-intl-* packages (and both emacs-intl-fonts and
xfont-intl-* come from the same source package).  Could you provide more
specific information please?

The license problem still persists.  Kenichi Handa told me some years
ago the problems should be fixed in intlfonts 1.3, but that version
hasn't been released yet.

This information is indeed confusing, I'll fix it in the next upload.

Package: intlfonts
Version: 1.2.1-3
Severity: wishlist

Please package the Amharic, Tibetan, and Tigrigna fonts from the
upstream intlfonts package into appropriate xfonts-intl-* packages.
These fonts were once apparently not packaged because of a license
problem, but the problem has clear been solved, since the source is
now available in the emacs-intl-fonts package.

Or, if they aren't there, why does the README.Debian file promise that
the copyright file would explain, when it doesn't?

Thomas
