Bug#433329: Please clarify whether Lucida Bright/Lucida Sans fonts are supported
Package: texlive-fonts-recommended
Version: 2007-10
Severity: minor
Hello,
texlive-fonts-recommended contains the following files related to Lucida
Bright fonts:
/usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-recommended/latex/psnfssx/lucidabr.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-recommended/latex/psnfssx/lucfont.tex
/usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-recommended/latex/psnfssx/lucfont.dvi.gz
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfssx/lucidbrb.sty
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfssx/lucmin.sty
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfssx/lucidbry.sty
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfssx/luctime.sty
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfssx/lucbmath.sty
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfssx/lucmtime.sty
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfssx/lucidabr.sty
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/psnfssx/lucidabr.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/psnfssx/lucfont.tex
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/psnfssx/lucfont.dvi.gz
All this suggests that it is possible to use Lucida Bright under Debian.
However, I get errors trying to use the font (e.g. typesetting lucfont.tex
above). After googling for hours, I am still scratching my head - could it
be that the font is non-free and thus not supported? After all, there's no
trace of any hls* file in any of the TeX packages. Then why are these files
present??
I suggest to document that it is not possible to use the fonts under
Debian, preferably both in README.Debian and in
/usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-recommended/latex/psnfssx/lucidabr.txt.gz
Alternatively, the above files could be removed from the package ...unless
there is an easy way to install the non-free fonts - can they be downloaded
somewhere?
Cheers,
Richard
