I'd like to see this font in Debian as well, so again thanks for
packaging it!

I have downloaded your package from mentors.d.n. It builds fine and
all, but I have some remarks nevertheless:

1) Please state somewhere (either in the package description or in
README.Debian, you decide) that this font is expected to work in most
text editors but won't work in most (especially VTE-based) terminal
emulators. This will prevent bad surprises for users with higher
expectations.

2) I believe that uploading the package to contrib is kind of over-
cautious, although I see no problem with it per se. We already have
many free fonts in Debian main that are only available in binary
formats (mostly TTF or OTF) and the license does not impose any
restrictions on the format for redistribution.

3) Isn't installing both WOFF and WOFF2 formats somehow redundant (I
really have no clue here)?

Once these issues are clarified, I'll upload the package (if not, beat
me to it).

Thanks,

Fabian
