[Enhancement]: Debundle Lato fonts #24

Open Kangie opened 4 years ago

Kangie commented 4 years ago

Lato fonts are available as a separate package on most (all?) Linux distributions.

They also fall under a different license to Komorebi, complicating packaging (SIL Open Font License (OFL) vs GPL-3+).

We should debundle the Lato fonts and rely on a packaged version.

TBH it should be pretty easy - the code doesn't specifically call for any fonts, just expects them to be installed with the package. This should be a change to documentation and build system only (and tidyup a few files).

Aaand it turns out Gentoo doesn't have a package for Lato fonts anyway, just some overlays that include it (though debian (etc.) does).

Good news, They're all OFL fonts, so there's no issues distributing them with Komorebi, other than attribution.

Shelving this for the 2.2.0 release.

Probably expand in scope to debundle all fonts at some point, though.
