charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, Guix developers: As far as I can tell, the IBM Plex family of fonts requires the nonfree program FontLab Studio to build. From=20Plex's GitHub[1] page: > To build binary font files from .vfb sources you need FontLab Studio > 5. A Python script called IBM Plex export FDK files.py is necessary > to export the proper files from FontLab. To run this script you=E2=80=99ll > need the RoboFab library. Also, you=E2=80=99ll need to have the Adobe Font > Development Kit for OpenType (AFDKO) installed. This seems to be a problem for the FSDG[2]'s requirement that a distro be "self-hosting:" > In particular, a free system distribution should be self-hosting. > This means that you must be able to develop and build the system > with tools that the system provides you. As a result, a free system > distribution cannot include free software that can only be built by > using nonfree software. This is one of the reasons Debian[3] has moved the font to the "contrib" section of its repos. > IBM releases Plex as "open source", but unfortunately the freedom > status of the font is less than ideal, as it requires non-free > software to be built from source (see README.md, Requirements section, > and [0]). The problematic step is the hinting, which is done with > FontLab Studio, which is proprietary software. There is currently no > Free Software program that is able to work with the high-level hinting > command language used by FontLab Studio. So, I think this font should probably be removed from Guix. (Disclaimer: I'm an FSF employee, but consider this a personal bug report sent from a personal address.)
