<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>I have seen reports of problems on XeTeX on Ubuntu not handling
woff files, both told to me in person and also on the web [1]. I
am now taking over the Debian/Ubuntu packaging for some fonts
(Scheherazade included) and wondered where to put woff files, to
avoid this problem. I could put them in the documentation folder
of the package, where some sample html and css files could load
the woff and display text using the woff font.</p>
<p>I asked this question on the Debian pkg-fonts-devel mailing list,
and the response [2] contradicted what Khaled Hosny said in [1].
Khaled's position (IIUC) was that the woff files should not be
installed where fontconfig can find them. Debian pkg-fonts-devel
mailing list said to file a bug against XeTeX for not validating
the results of fontconfig.</p>
<p>Whose advice should I follow?<br>
