Registration of Tetex suplied fonts
Tetex has really nice fonts. Many of those have equivalents in the
xfonts packages but some don't. In particular, xfonts lacks a good
black letter font. tetex-extra supplies the excellent ams-euler and
ygoth fonts. Those are among the best black letter fonts that I have
ever seen.
I think it would be a good idea to include an option to render those
fonts in type1 or in ttf (with mftrace or other tools) and to register
them with fontconfig.
When I was looking for a good black letter font I endend up installing
all the packages with "font" in their name. I ended up with plenty of
useless "funny" fonts is the larabie* packages. Its a shame that we
have great fonts like the ones in tetex but that we "hide" them from
the casual user.
Ok I should probably report this as a wishlist item with reportbug but
I'd like to know what is the maintainers of tetex opinion on the
subject.
