I fail to see how this downloads from a ‘pirated source’ since it comes from the MacBuntu project. I am aware that the pkgbuild needs to be updated to properly use the subversion feature in makepkg, I have not been able to get to it due to having multiple spinal injuries and two surgeries in 2016. Typically if a user comments on the pkg or emails me I make a point to update the pkgbuild as necessary. I guess I’ll hold off on updating the pkgbuild for proper svn support until this request is settled. However I am against the deletion of this pkgbuild fully due to the legal download source provided in the original pkgbuild.

Since no further discussion has taken place regarding this PKGBUILD and the fact that I've updated it to properly use the updated features in makepkg. I propose that this request be closed and denied, as mentioned earlier in my email 19 days ago, that the fonts are part of the macbuntu project and thus does not constitute a 'pirated source'.

Request #7122 has been rejected by Barthalion [1]:
Current version of PKGBUILD uses source array correctly. As PKGBUILD can't distribute anything, DMCA should be requested by owner to wherever fonts are hosted.
