My main motivation back then was that cups needs a replacement for the
Courier font in order to print plain text (#516335) and this font
needs to be in truetype (not opentype) format. The cups maintainers
decided for ttf-freefont exclusively (#495598), although I think this
was a bad choice and prefer ttf-liberation or the original gsfonts
instead. The latter, however, are only available in type1 format and
this I why I asked to make them available in truetype format as well.
