[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#722054: fonts-ebgaramond: drop some fonts and/or split package

[Kess Vargavind]

Package: fonts-ebgaramond
Version: 0.015+git20130522-1
Severity: normal

Hello and thanks for packaging these fonts! Some suggestions:

(1) Drop the TTFs, most software can handle the OTFs just fine and having both
will mean double font listings in some software.

(2) Drop or split (to e.g. fonts-ebgaramond-extra) the SC variant fonts. Most
typesetters nowaday know how to handle “smart” font features available in
the base fonts. Suggestion: drop.

(3) Drop or split (to e.g. fonts-ebgaramond-experimental or -extra) the Initial
and Bold variant fonts. They are far from complete and will not behave as
expected on a production system. They are worth packaging for use of limited
scope. Suggestion: split.

Thanks in advance,
Kess
