(In reply to comment #1) > Now the font appears to be useable. Could you confirm the same thing happens > for you ? I can confirm this. Copying /usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/oesch/lig.mf to the working dir calling mktextfm and then compiling the beispiel.tex is successful and the dvi is shown properly with the font included.
For reference: http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2008-July/016407.html esp. have a look at the answers: it is probably easily fixable, but the license is a bit too restrictive: it does not allow someone to ship a modified version... so we're stuck there. I'm afraid that if it is not fixed on CTAN soon I'll have no choice but removing it. Moreover, I might have to remove it from texlive due to the restrictive non free license regardless :/
So here we go: oesch has been removed upstream because of its no modify license, and so did I for us. For arch teams: sorry for the 0 day stable request, but this shouldn't have been there in the first place, the difference between -r0 and -r1 is only the removal of oesch. For people who still wants to use oesch, there is now dev-tex/oesch which is fixed wrt the name collisions but could need some keywording love too.
Stable for HPPA, but this trivial issue should still be fixed: RepoMan scours the neighborhood... IUSE.undefined 2 dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra/texlive-fontsextra-2007.ebuild: IUSE is not defined dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra/texlive-fontsextra-2007-r1.ebuild: IUSE is not defined RepoMan sez: "You're only giving me a partial QA payment? I'll take it this time, but I'm not happy."
Sparc stable.
ppc stable
alpha/ia64/x86 stable
ppc64 stable
amd64 stable. fixed.
