Bug#764122: MnSymbol and new[tp]x shouldn't be in the texlive-fonts-extra ghetto
Package: texlive-fonts-extra
Version: 2014.20140927-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi again, Norbert.
So here I am, writing my lecture notes on a machine on which I don't
usually TeX. My personal format fails with an error about MnSymbol not
found, so I do
$ apt-cache search mnsymbol
texlive-fonts-extra - TeX Live: Additional fonts
Ouch. 200MB download, 600MB disk space.
Norbert, there are three font packages that are very useful when you're
trying to work around the lack of maths fonts -- these are newtx, newpx
and MnSymbol. I really think they should be extracted from the
texlive-fonts-extra ghetto.
Sorry for the underful hbox in the paragraph above, I'm too lazy to reword
it. Thanks for listening,
-- Juliusz
