Bug#764122: [tex-live] Bug#764122: MnSymbol and new[tp]x shouldn't be in the texlive-fonts-extra ghetto
Hi Juliusz, What about mnsymbol? It's a fairly small package, and is a simple, hassle-free way to get a bunch of mathematical symbols that blend relatively well with many common fonts I guess I don't have any overwhelming argument against it, but it would be nice if I had a note from at least one other user that moving it from one collection to the other would be a practical benefit. My general feeling is that for pretty much any package X in a collection C, there is an argument that it should be in collection C2 instead. So in self-defense, I try to be conservative in such moves. Best, Karl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

So in self-defense, I try to be conservative in such moves. IMO mnsymbol should be part of the collection containing all the other math symbol fonts. Whether it should be in texlive-fonts-extra or in texlive-fonts-recommended is another thing. But all math symbol fonts should be in one and the same collection. Otherwise the concept of collections doesn't make sense anymore.

In 2014, 200MB is noise level. I can see no reason whatsoever to factor out some subset of this. Philip Taylor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Do what you want in Debian, of course. (Do you exactly 100% follow the TL collection constituents now?) For TL, I see that c-fontsrecommended has txfonts and pxfonts. Perhaps I should exchange those with the newtx and newpx in extra, but I'm not sure. I have a feeling that an awful lot of documents use the original *xfonts and it would just create needless churn. Michael (Sharpe), do you have an opinion here? I don't want to just randomly add things to c-fontsrecommended. karl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Yes, we follow it 100% (besides leaving out a few packages that are packaged separately). I don't want to just randomly add things to c-fontsrecommended. I agree. Only if there is good reason.
