Hi Vincent,
Surprisingly enough, for many authors the mere instructions
"Install TeX Live" is already complicated.
It's not surprising. Unfortunately.
I suspect many other journal classes would stop working with a TeX Live
update, with authors left in the cold.
Yes, that would be bad. I can check how many fonts are involved.
I'd rather vote for an "almost everything" option (everything but
collection-fontsextra),
Yes, that would be easy to offer. Just another scheme. Could make it an
option in the installer to make it easier to select, perhaps.
Thanks for the feedback. -k
