[bug#43125] Re: [PATCH] Add new font APL385 & APL333

[Julien Lepiller]

Hi,

I've tried to apply and build these fonts. Apl 385 applied and built
without any issue, but it seems that apl333 sources have changed since
you posted your patch.

Apparently, they update the archives in-place, which is a bad practice
for distros such as ours, since it will break our packaging system at
an unknown time in the future. Do you know of any other source for
these fonts with versionned archives? Do you know how to contact the
author, to ask them for a versionned link?
