Are > you sure that foobillardplus is able to handle this font format? I had replaced those fonts with LinBiolinum_R.otf and LinBiolinum_RB.otf in the past. That seemed to work with the German and Russian language versions of FooBillard++ but caused a strange error with the English version. So I guess in principle it should work but it needs more testing with the _aSB and _aS variants to be sure. > Second, the font files you are referring to were *a*utomatically > generated (i.e. scripted) *S*mall Caps in regular and *B*old weight.

Well, I don't want to cause anybody here more work than usual. If this is really intended by upstream, so be it. I'm just thinking that version 5.3.0 feels more like a regression because so many fonts variants are missing from the last version and they could obviously be used in other Debian packages.
