What about =E2=80=9Cttf-dejavu=E2=80=9D? Should it be called =E2=80=9Cdejavu-fonts-ttf=E2=80=9D then? > We could install a rule similar to that for python modules, that we always > add ttf in front of true type fonts, or move it in front if it is already > in the name.

What would we do th= en? Then it shouldn't be prefixed with "ttf". I suggest to use "ttf-=E2=80=A6"= name only for packages that provide truetype fonts only. As for the other font packages, I think they should have "font"/"fonts" in their names, no matter would it be in the beginning (font-misc-ethiopic) or in the end (terminus-font). > It would be more reasonable to add "font-" in front.
