Re: URW++ Core Font Set (Level 2) -- fontconfig files in upstream?

​That's (almost) my preference as well. I proposed the files to upstream
without any priority ordering, so every distribution using those files can
decide ​by itself, what priority it should have. I guess in most times it
will be decided by the font maintainer himself/herself.

So if you do not have any objections, I will ask upstream if they could
include those files in their next (URW)++ font release. :)

Best regards,
