Bug#694328: Please test if type1 fonts include copyrighted all right reserved by adobe code



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.2
Severity: wishlist

Type1 fonts made by fontforge include copyrighted code from adobe for type1 fonts hinting

It is quite easy to detect on lintian:

if the font is a type1 font:
file /usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/Symbol.pfb 
/usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/Symbol.pfb: PostScript Type 1 font program data

then dissassemble it:
t1disasm /usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/Symbol.pfb

and then grep:
t1disasm /usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/Symbol.pfb | grep -Pzo "(?s)\s*(Copyright.*Adobe Systems Incorporated\N[\r\n]% All Rights Reserved.)"

if grep is positive then likely  we have a licence violation

see bug 665334 for background
