Bug Description

Binary package hint: ttf-larabie-straight

There are 154 fonts in ttf-larabie-straight, and most of them are not all that straight. Also, most of them lack bold and oblique variants, which limits their use in non-decorative contexts. And for my locale most of them are incomplete (we sometimes use macrons in NZ), which makes them even less desirable. Of course that is unusual, but most latin scripters use some extensions so coverage is important.

There *are* a few useful and complete ones like, say, goodfish. I would like to be able to install those and ignore the rest. For those we need a ttf-larabie-seriously-straight.
