Package: gsfonts
Version: 8.14+v8.11-0.1
Severity: wishlist

It seems to me that the preferred form for modifying these fonts is
the Fontforge ".sfd" files, rather than the Type1 .pfb/.afm files that
are generated from them. It would be better for the Debian source
package to contain the .sfd files, and to regenerate the Type1 files
at build time.

The .sfd files appear to be available at

ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources/

though I'm not sure if any of the versions there correspond exactly to
the current Debian version.

Another potential difficulty might be that the current process for
making Type1 fonts isn't completely automated, but I see no reason why
it couldn't be.
