Binary package hint: software-center

The software centre has a Fonts section but entries in that section indicate they are "free": please do not use this term as it has strongly negative connotation in the typeface design community and corresponds to maybe-distribute-but-don't-modify-fonts usually of low quality. Open fonts (or libre/open fonts) is much much preferred and corresponds to font software allowing use/study/modification/redistribution.

The license label of each entry does not show the specific licensing terms the particular font is released under by upstream.
Please show the explicit font license chosen by author because different licenses have different requirements on the end-user: especially with issues concerning embedding.

Various fonts we package and maintain in our upstream Debian pkg-fonts team now have DEP-5 copyright metadata (or are on track to include it soon). Please make use of that information.
