AFM fonts doubled
Hi there,
by accident I found that the files
/usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe/ptmr8a.afm and
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/times/ptmr8a.afm
on my Debian box are the same.
IMHO there is no need for both. And the overhead of some 100K useless
Bytes is worth further investigation.
Isn't it possible to use the same files for both packages by providing
an additional package!?
$ dlocate ptmr8a.afm
tetex-extra: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/times/ptmr8a.afm
libgnomeprint-data: /usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe/ptmr8a.afm
$ du /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/
84 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/avantgar
100 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/utopia
80 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/ncntrsbk
68 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/courier
16 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/zapfding
16 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/symbol
164 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic
68 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/bookman
68 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/palatino
84 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/times
20 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/zapfchan
772 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe
$ du /usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe/
760 /usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe
Bye
