OTF fonts and so-called "source" (CID postscript fonts) only differs on font encapsulation, which means they can convert to each other without losing information. That is different from typical compilation process. AFDKO is only a convert tool, not a compiler. Upstream said he is releasing .otf fonts under GPL and that should not bother with AFDKO or other tools, which is used in font development. As a result, upstream (and I) are in doubt whether this would cause rejection in Debian. There are lots of fonts in Debian with only .ttf or .otf fonts as source. Is there a convincing policy that regulates sources of fonts in Debian? (e.g. what is "source" and what is "binary"?) P.S. AFDKO packaging is being worked on packaging.

(e.g. releasing proper src and/or help packaging AFDKO #762252). -- Boyuan Yang signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The README is pretty clear that the fonts are compile to OpenType using AFDKO from FontForge and or Inkscape source. AFDKO is not in Debian main so this font should go to contrib. In addition, no FontForge source format or SVG files were released and the font is under the GPL so I don't think we can distribute this at all. Please ask the ftp-masters to reject this package from NEW. Here are the contents of the README for the record: README These are the Fandol fonts for Chinese typesetting. Current version of Fandol fonts contains four styles: Song, Hei, Kai, Fang. All the fonts are OpenType. These fonts are developed by Fandol team. The member of Fandol team: Clerk Ma & Jie Su. These fonts's licensing is GPL + GPL font exception. CHANGELOG v0.1 2013/07/31 * initital version. v0.2 2013/08/03 * change GID to CID (Adobe-GB1-5) * using AFDKO to compile to OpenType * CID ranges: 940-7702, 7717-8895, 29064-30220 * XUID: 1440 * fontforge + inkscape as outline editor v0.3 2015/07/18 * added two braille fonts * fixed bugs of kanji fonts -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
