  Description     : Y14.5-2018 technical drawing font for FreeCAD

 This package provides the Y14.5-2018 font, a sans-serif TrueType font
 designed to conform closely to the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard for
 dimensioning and tolerancing used in technical and engineering drawings.
 .
 The font is ideal for CAD environments and applications that require
 adherence to precise engineering documentation standards. It emulates
 the traditional technical lettering style found on mechanical and
 architectural blueprints.
 .
 The TechDraw workbench of FreeCAD can utilize this font to produce
 dimensioned drawings that align with the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard.
 .
 The Y14.5 font is only required for drawings that need to comply with ASME
 standards. It is not required for documents following ISO or no standards.

The font is non-free, as the permsission to modify the font is not spelled out
in the license, and an discussion in a FreeCAD issue 
(https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/18622) the author only provide a
personal license for FreeCAD and associated parties.

FreeCAD will perfectly fine without this font, just the TechDraw Workbench will
issue a warning without this font, and the AMSE features won't be available.

As the font in question has been relicensed to be DFSG compliant, this
package and therefore this ITP is no longer required and can be closed.
