Why? This would mean that all fonts must be regenerated each time the |
8 |
package is built. And it doesn't even help if they are already present |
9 |
in /var/cache/fonts, since the directory is then also ignored for |
10 |
reading. |

And Metafont can be quite expensive in computing time. That's why |
13 |
there is a font cache, in the first place. ;-) |
