Bug#721521: [Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#721521: ITP: fonts-urw-base35 -- Set of the 35 PostScript Language Level 2 Base Fonts
Dear Kenshi Muto, Masayuki Hatta and Roland Rosenfeld,
I contact you, because you are the latest active maintainers of the
gsfonts and gsfonts-x11 packages, respectively.
As you may have seen already in #721521, I am going to upload the
fonts-urw-base35 packages that contains the latest update of upstream
author URW to the font set that is metric compatible to the Postscript
35 base set. Thus, it will replace the gsfonts package and provide a
transitional dummy package of that name. Furthermore, while at it, I am
going to merge the effort to make these fonts available to X11 from the
gsfonts-x11 package. Thus, this package will get replaced with a
transitional dummy packages as well.
Since these are firmally "your" packages, I'd like to make sure you are
informed about these consequences beforehand. Furthermore, I would
appreciate if you could acknowledge these changes or raise your
objections now, before it is probably a bit late.
Thank you very much for your replies!
Best regards,
- Fabian
