Comment 3 Daniel J. 2010-01-31 20:14:20 UTC

Upon further reflection, since OpenOffice < 3.2 can't handle OTF fonts, and since Andrey Panov has put so much effort into hinting the TrueType fonts, perhaps it would be better to support the TTF instead of the OTF.

Comment 4 Daniel J. 2010-02-16 13:37:44 UTC

Heuristica 0.2.1 has been released.

Why not both? I would suggest to install the ttf by default and add otf toggled by a useflag.

Committed to tree as media-fonts/heuristica-0.2.1. It installs ttf, otf and type1 versions. Thanks for the report and the ebuild :)
