Bug#690125: texlive-fonts-recommended contains four strange duplicates of the Type 1 font files for Nimbus Sans
Package: texlive-fonts-recommended
Hi,
the texlive-fonts-recommended package contains four strange duplicates
of the Type 1 font files for URW's Helvetica clone Nimbus Sans. The
files are not among the fonts hosted on CTAN and seem to be ancient
versions of the condensed fonts with the letter 'c' indicating
"condensed" in the file name at a different position:
$diff -u <(cd base35/pfb && ls uhv*.pfb) <(cd
texlive-base-2012.20120611/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/helvetic && ls
uhv*.pfb)
