This should possibly be combined with the package fonts-source-sans-pro
(bug #736680) under the name fonts-adobe-source.

This package has to go to contrib since it requires the proprietary
Adobe ADFKO to build from source.

Hi all,

Adobe ADFKO has been released under a free software license (Apache 2.0):

http://blog.typekit.com/2014/09/19/new-from-adobe-type-open-sourced-font-development-tools/

So the fonts that build using them (RFPs and ITPs CCed) can now go to
Debian main once
Adobe ADFKO has been packaged and accepted into Debian main.

Anyone want to package it?

I have had a look at it, and man this is a messy piece of software.

I'll see what I can come up with, and report my findings.

I wrote a Debian package for this font. What is the correct way to submit it?

I only mention this because if you try to follow the old link, you'll
end up looking at the release branch with its dizzying array of
binaries.

These are separate upstream repositories, so they should to be separate source packages.
They both have an open RFS.

My particular interest in fonts-adobe-sourcesans3 is that it is used by the electrum
package which I also maintain.  I probably will not package any of the other Adobe fonts,
but I would encourage anyone else with an interest in them to do so.

The OFL license with reserved name is a bit tricky to package, but it can be done in a way
that allows inclusion in main.   Anyone working on these is welcome to see how I handled
it for fonts-adobe-sourcesans3.
