I've created a new package[1], source-code-pro-fonts for Adobe's Source Code Pro font that includes both the TTF and OTF files. Can you merge and delete the otf-source-code-pro[2] and ttf-source-code-pro[3] packages with it? The otf-source-code-pro maintainer and I discussed it on the otf-source-code-pro package page and he's good with that.

Hello,
the new package 'source-code-pro-fonts' installs both TTF and OTF. With both installed how do I know which one will be used by default on GNOME and other applications? We have lots of ttf- and otf- packages on AUR, and I thought we had good reason for that. Is this a new way to package fonts?
I was the maintainer for the ttf-source-code-pro package and noticed that Adobe had started to put both the OTF and the TTF together in the same zip file, so I figured it would be okay to install both. Further investigation tells me that some apps only want to use TTF, while most will use OTF if it is there or TTF otherwise. However, I was not able to uncover what happens if both are there and which one an app might use or even how to tell an app to use one instead of the other. Or if it makes any difference. As they are released simultaneously in the same file, it is easier to keep one package up to date. And I did ask on the otf package if it would be okay and/or better to just combine them. But if there is a sound techical reason for having 2 different packages, we could go back to that easily enough. -- Jonathan Arnold Webstream: http://hieronymus.soup.io Talent wins games, but team work and intelligence wins championships.
