Dear all,
As some of you may know, after more than a month of consultation,
feedback and tweaking new font packaging guidelines have been approved
by FESCO.

New font packages in review must now conform to the new templates, and
current packages be converted in rawhide by their maintainers. To track
the conversion progress I will henceforth file tickets in bugzilla.
Hello,
Two of my packages are TeX fonts (tetex-font-kerkis and
tetex-font-cm-lgc), which contain .pfb files (postscript type 1 from
what I could find out).
My questions are:
- Should I place the .pfb files ( e.g.
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/kerkis/Kerkis-Bold.pfb)
in /usr/share/fonts/kerkis/ and symlink them to their old (original)
place or the reverse.
- What about the other TeX relevant files? Should I do something with
them or are they indifferent to the rest of the system.
If there is an example TeX font package switched to the new format, it
is not obvious from the package names.
Please advise.
Thanks,
