O.k. then it was a bit misleading.

we can add the font to the next Thunderbird version of course. 52.5.0 is
targeted for Monday 13th November 2017, this is right next week. A bit
depending on how fast the Mozilla people can make the release happen we
quite near this upstream release.
I'm trying also to prepare some changes into a upload for experimental,
so it's likely happen at all in the next days.
