Description Matthew Gregory Sr. 2008-11-15 23:50:31 UTC

In reference to bug #203739 comment #12 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203739#c12)

"Matthew, please open new bug for this new issue. I failed to find any
references too and if such link does not exist we'll have to mask and punt this
fonts from the tree. It really looks like Wolfram changed their mind and now
require users to register to download fonts, but I'm not sure..."



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
attempt to emerge mathematica fonts (all versions)
Actual Results:  
unable to retrieve sources

Expected Results:

Actually, if you try

http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/linux/general/files/Math_6_Linux.tar.gz

you will be redirected to

http://support.wolfram.com/index.en.html

True. But the question is does there exist a link to download fonts?

Comment 3 José L. Enríquez 2008-11-19 13:21:19 UTC

I wrote Wolfram and they gave me the fonts, but not the link.

Ok, I've found new location but old fonts are not available there. So I had to remove old fonts and provide ebuild for new fonts only. So I did version bump and removed old fonts. Please check that it works as I'm unsure and URL provided by MathSoft could be autogenerated... I really hope this issue is fixed.
