[Pkg-fonts-devel] location of woff files

Greetings,

Where should .woff files be installed? For the fonts-sil-andikanewbasic
package, .woff files are installed to

/usr/share/fonts/woff/andikanewbasic

One user encountered a problem using XeTeX specifying the font as Andika
New Basic, I guess fontconfig found the .woff file before the .ttf file
for this font, and XeTeX could not process the .woff file. It seems
better to me to have the .woff file under the documentation for the
font. For NRSI fonts, this would work well, as NRSI ships two files

 1. AndikaNewBasic-webfont-example.html
 2. AndikaNewBasic-webfont-example.css

that use a .woff file in the same directory at the .html and .css files
to show an example of the font.

Bobby
