That hasn’t always been done in the past, but there is an effort to get there with all the existing packages. If you happen to be building a font under the OFL license with a reserved name, you probably have to build the font (to prove that it can be done) but then distribute the upstream precompiled fonts to comply with the license. https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fonts-adobe-sourcesans3/-/blob/master/ debian/README.Source?ref_type=heads You an read a little more about why this is needed in point 5.9 of the FAQ: https://openfontlicense.org/ofl-reserved-font-names/ In all other circumstances of which I am aware, you should only ship the fonts that are built from source during the package build. -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
