With the circulating claim that my work is inferior, I don't feel
comfortable recommending it be packaged for a distribution, especially
since others say they have produced better product. However, as
someone who doesn't print to cellulose, I personally haven't noticed
any deficiency in my versions of the fonts, so what I do feel
comfortable with is suggesting that until the better product is made
available, you evaluate my versions.

If, after a few months, no one publishes a superior font set and there
does develop a consensus that my work isn't somehow deficient, then I
would be willing to do the packaging work.

You can use the fonts immediately, as a local user is creating
directory ~/.fonts, and copying the fonts files there. If libreoffice
is running, it may possibly be necessary to exit and restart the
program.
