Thank you for report. Fixed in the tree.
Why wasn't this bug report and fix forwarded upstream?
Should it? It's just Gentoo (and probably some other linux distributions) convention to install man pages to /usr/share/man instead of /usr/man, and if upstream cames from dark unix ages it'll be hard to convince them. That said fix is quite trivial so if anybody has contacts upstream and can report this problem there I'll be happy to drop this sed from ebuild: sed '/data_files/{s:man/man1:share/man/man1:}' -i setup.py #247154
It definitely should, yes. I'm part of upstream (and the Debian package maintainer). I've fixed this issue in the most recent release, fonttools 2.3. If you'd like to help upstream, that would be great since there is pretty-much no-one working on fonttools these days. Please report any future upstream-relevant bugs to the fonttools sourceforge bug tracker.
