 fixed by that way better.

fontforge can probably do that (even automatable, it can be called on
the commandline).

 (I'm even wondering if #388795 is not a license violation, as I'm quite
 sure without looking the original fonts include ].)

You might be right, because

`

However, I don't know whether forgetting one character qualifies as a
derivative version, instead of just being a bug...

Bug#402148: doesn't contain source

2006-12-08 Thread Andreas Barth
Package: latex-xft-fonts
Version: 0.1-5
Severity: serious

Hi,

the package claims in its copyright file:
  These fonts were converted from the LaTeX .pfb forms,
  and are under the respective licenses of the sources.
  
In this case, it would be good if it would be created from the
.pfb-forms on the fly during compilation - bugs like 388795 could be
fixed by that way better. Would be good means not doing so is a
release critical in this case.

(I'm even wondering if #388795 is not a license violation, as I'm quite
sure without looking the original fonts include ].)


Cheers,
Andi
