According to them, upstream looks dead, a licensing issue (use of pure GPL) exists and has been reported years ago, but was never acted upon. The Debian file was signed in May 2012. I seriously doubt that I get an reaction to my Email, but I have send it. With the licensing issue, can it still be packaged? Is it legally possible if I warn in the description that the fonts has those 3 issues? https://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts/fonts-unfonts-core https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UN_fonts -- ng irc://loupsycedyglgamf.onion:67/~NiAsterisk http://loupsycedyglgamf.onion/NiAsterisk/ EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/Echt_Dezentrales_Netz/en
