Bug#393950: latex-hangul-ucs: overrides common TeX configuration
Package: latex-hangul-ucs
Version: 1:3.1.1-1
Severity: important
This package has a configuration file /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55UnFonts.cnf
which overrides tex-common's settings of TTFONTS:
TTFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/truetype//;/usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts//
This violates a "should" clause of the Debian TeX policy:
,----
| Packages are free to add configuration items to the common
| configuration files, but they should not try to override configuration
| items that are supplied by other packages. Rather, shared
| configuration items should be supplied by the Basic TeX packages or
| any other package on which all involved packages depend, with a
| setting appropriate for all. If this is impractical, the involved
| packages must at least agree on the way different packages override
| other's settings[7].
`----
We should really try to come up with a setting for TTFONTS that makes
sense for all Tex packages that use TrueType fonts. I can't even tell
which those are. dvipdfmx? ttf2pk from freetype1-tools? What else?
Regards, Frank
