Hello, dear maintainers.
The last release of FreeFont was almost 8 years ago. Debian Sid is still using that version from 2012. I've tested the latest FreeSerif and FreeMono fonts from the repositories for almost a year, and they're far more complete and functional than the 2012 release.
For example I couldn't use the 2012 FreeSerif version for mathematical typesetting in XeTeX (it just defaults to Latin Modern Math), but with the current FreeSerif I can. The mathematical symbols were updated and improved as well. Are there any future plans
to release a new version of FreeFont in 2020?
Thank you.
-David
