Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-11-28 15:29:06 MSK
fonts-type1-cm-super-afm-0.3.3-alt7

(This report is like https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18031 .)

Now, the description says:

 The fonts-type1-cm-super-afm package contains Adobe Font Metrics for Type 1 fonts converted
...

and it says nothing about the potential uses of this package. So, by reading the description, I can't decide whether I want to install this
package (unless I know what AFM is for, but this is too technical for most people, for example, for me).

I suggest that the description ends with a phrase like:

"Install this package if ...."

or

"This package may be used by ..."

(such phrases were a tradition in the descriptions of Mandrake packages, and they were useful).
