  Package name    : fonts-sil-averia

  Description     : Avería is a Unicode typeface family created from
the average of all fonts on the computer of the creator.

Avería ("breakdown" or "mechanical damage" in Spanish - related to the root
of the English word "average") is a Unicode typeface family created from the
average of all fonts on the computer of the creator, Dan Sayers. The process
is described at http://iotic.com/averia/. All metrics are the result of an
averaging process. The included glyphs are those that existed in a majority
of the source fonts - which are the following:

Range           Description
U+0020-U+007E   Basic Latin
U+00A0-U+00FF   Latin-1 Supplement

And some glyphs from the following:

Range           Description
U+0100-U+017F   Latin Extended-A
U+0180-U+021F   Latin Extended-B
U+02B0-U+02FF   Spacing Modifier Letters
U+0370-U+03D5   Greek
U+2000-U+2122   General Punctuation
U+2200-U+25CS   Mathematical Operators

Avería exists in Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Light and Light Italic
styles - as well as a "Gruesa" semi-italic variant made from an average of
all 725 source fonts.

thanks

I close this bug because this package has legal problems.

Due to the strange way in which this font was created, it is
a derivative work of many different fonts, some proprietary, some
libre, some copyleft and some permissively licensed. As a result it is
probably not distributable at all. At minimum, the copyright holders
of the other fonts haven't been acknowledged.

However I will work on a "libre" free version of this fonts in google webform.
