Thanks, Rafael! I've taken your comments into consideration (see
below), and there's a new version now which should be uploadable by
you if you're still willing.

i've adopted this changed description. Thanks for the recommendation.

Done.

i made a couple changes to the font package itself (another tweak for
how the bold fonts are generated), and made it non-native, so the
version available from my repository should be 0.10-1 (i dropped the
leading zeroes to make it cleaner).
Thanks again for your suggestions and your offer of uploading.
Regards,
