[Pkg-fonts-devel] GPL Vietnamese font package available

Hello all :)
I represent your friendly local Vietnamese i18n team, and we have a
package of fonts which we would dearly love to see released with
Etch. Our language will be supported for the very first time in this
Debian release, so this is a big thing for us, as I'm sure you can
understand.
We have had some difficulty getting our font designers to take on the
licensing issues, but one font package has already been licensed
under the GPL. It's called URWVN [1]. The project admin is a team-
mate of mine, and happy to work with you to integrate these fonts in
Debian.
Being based on the URW font package, it inherits the GPL licensing,
which is specified on its own page [2] (further down, in English) and
in the COPYING file packaged with the fonts.
Duy's English is good, so he can participate directly in this
conversation.
I hope you will welcome URWVN to the Debian font package family. :)
