  Description     : set of serif OpenType fonts designed to complement

 A fresh take on the transitional style, Source Serif was designed as a
 companion to Source Sans. Their close relationship was achieved through
 a careful match of letter proportions and typographic color.

 Designed for a digital environment, the letter shapes for Source Serif
 are simplified and highly readable. The historical background, in
 combination with a high technical standard, gives the typeface a strong
 character of its own, lending itself to setting extended text on both
 paper and screen.

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?

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.
