Bug#589988: ITP: ttf-gruenewald -- free educational fonts for schools (handwriting)



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

>From the corresponding RFP, #549926:

* Package name    : ttf-gruenewald
  Version         : 0.7
  Upstream Author : Peter Wiegel
* URL             : http://www.peter-wiegel.de/Gruenewald.html 
* License         : SIL OFL and/or GNU GPL (inconsistend upstream,
                    author has been contacted)  
  Description     : Free handwriting font known as VA in German schools

This package is dedicated to schools using free software like Debian
Edu (aka Skolelinux). Gruenewald VA is especially meant for German
schools; there are further free licensed fonts by Peter Wiegel
designed for other country's customs (so we can also consider bundling
those as package ttf-debian-edu or ttf-wiegel).

See discussion at:
<URL:http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fonts-devel/2010-July/005299.html>
Some source code turned up on the German Skolelinux wiki:
<URL:http://www.skolelinux.de/~ralf/ttf-skolelinux/GruenewaldVA-Regular.sfd.gz>
So some upstream cleanup seems to be really necessary ...

Regards,

	Andi
