Please put woff files below /usr/share/fonts/woff And please file a bugreport against packages choking on the existence of woff files in a generally discoverable place: That is not specific to your package. Similar for eot fonts. At a later stage - if woff and eot files _always_ can be automatically generated from truetype or opentype fonts (for no fonts¹ need special tools) - we should stop ship them with font source packages, but instead setup a trigger to generate them at install time. - Jonas ¹ Font subsetting is a different matter. Even when we have proper tooling for subsetting, we should still provide full fonts as fallback for those of our users not doing subsetting for each specific text. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
