[Reproducible-builds] Unifont Font Timestamps

Greetings.  In examining my QA entry for Unifont, I noticed a new "unrep"
link.  It seems to have been created on 19 April 2015.  This led to the
following notice:

https://reproducible.debian.net/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/unifont.html

The Debian Unifont package rebuilds its Unifont TrueType fonts using
fontforge.  So every time Unifont is built from source on Debian, fontforge
will generate a new set of TrueType fonts with new timestamps.

I consider this rebuilding of the Unifont TrueType fonts from scratch to be
a feature, not a bug.

Thanks,


Paul Hardy
