Bug#862966: texlive-fonts-extra: Missing yinitas.tfm which makes yfonts.sty unusable
Package: texlive-fonts-extra
Severity: important
Hallo,
under Jessie I can successfully build the following LaTeX file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{yfonts}
\begin{document}
\yinipar{T}est
\end{document}
since texlive-fonts-extra (2014.20141024-1) contains:
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/gothic/yinitas.tfm
texlive-fonts-extra: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/gothic/yinitas.tfm
Under Stretch texlive-fonts-extra (2016.20170123-5) that file is missing
and so the following happens:
$ pdflatex initiale.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/Debian) (preloaded format=pdflatex)

The file missfont.log is created containing:
mktextfm yinitas
I have checked
apt-file search yinitas.tfm
which remains empty so it seems it was not moved somewhere else.
In other words: The style
texlive-fonts-extra: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/yfonts/yfonts.sty
is non-functional due to missing yinitas.tfm. Is this file missing by
accident (if yes, please re-add it) and if it was removed intentionally
please document it and remove the style file as well.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining texlive-fonts-extra
Andreas.
