Hello Fabian,

I tried once again to understand the sense of your bug report, "python3-reportlab: depends on T1 and TTF fallback fonts at the same
time"

The code you saw in file debian/patches/dejavu-font-default.diff is not
meany something like: "if Vera.t1 does not exist, take Vera.ttf".
It rather means: if some Foo.t1 font cannot be found, for any reason, take another surely existing font as a default.

Would it be better to pick something like the font C059-Roman.t1,
by default?

Best regards, Georges.

Hi Georges,

Yes, but by depending on the fonts-urw-base35 package you already _make
sure_ that the T1 fonts can be found, so there is no need to also depend
on the secondary order fallback fonts as well.

Would it be better to pick something like the font C059-Roman.t1,
by default?

Please choose default fonts that can be satisfied by only one package dependency.
