Hi Olivier,

I looked at the fonts more in details.  circlethings, circlethings2, pointers
and shapes do not allow modification, so we will need to either remove them
from the circos or distribute it in non-free.  I did not have time to verify
how essential they are.  symbols is Free and is part of Circos.  The ‘Computer
Modern Unicode fonts’ are an independant Free project that was already
requested for packaging (http://bugs.debian.org/620537).  In the end, only this
one would benefit from being independantly packaged.

Have a nice day,
