I think it would be worthwhile to check with ASF legal if the license
for these fonts is OK. Even if we don't redistribute them it would be
very useful to have a set of fonts in the test resources area so we can
have tests which can check unicode handling, line breaking, layout,
rendering, font embedding, ... for unicode chars not contained in the
base14 fonts.
It would also allow us to have some basic regression tests for the
ttfreader.
