Bug#186354: Missing afm files for many fonts



Package: tetex-extra
Version: 2.0-1

  The tetex-extra package installs the Blue Sky Computer Modern fonts,
but not the associated afm files.  For example, it ships:

  /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmss17.pfb

  But there is no afm for this font to be found.  I figured that maybe
the information was contained in there somehow, but pf2afm generated an
afm which did not include kerning information.  I was trying to use
freetype which requires an afm file for every pfb to get the kerning
table.

  The canonical version of these fonts I found here:

  http://www.ams.org/tex/type1-fonts.html

  Which includes the afm files.  It seems that afm files do not exist
for many of the fonts in tetex-extra.  I think that tetex-extra should
include them.  This machine is using debian unstable.

  Thanks,
  -Billy
