Bug Description
ttf-devanagari-
- Chandas uses Bitstream Vera Sans without using the Bitstream Vera license. It only specifies the GPL license.
- Kalimati uses Tahoma, thus breaking its copyright. It specifies "© Sanir Karmacharya, Suyash Shrestha"
- Samanata uses Eurostile, thus breaking its copyright. It specifies "© Samir Karmacharya, Email: <email address hidden>"
Aksharyogini, Gargi, Nakula, Sahadeva, uses Latin glyphs from what looks like Nimbus Serif/Sans which are under GPL so they are clean.
Lohit doesn't seem to have borrowed glyphs.
Fonts which break copyright _should not_ be distributed unless the license are fixed and copyrights are respected.
