Hi Urs

this was discussed before but you might have missed it.

You can use part of this script:
https://github.com/fedelibre/LilyDevOS/blob/master/mkosi/debian/mkosi.extra/etc/skel/setup.sh#L39

to download the needed .otf files.

AFAIK, only Fedora (?) includes .otf files in its URW fonts package, 
because I asked for it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496466#c18

Fedora packager wrote that OTF files are not too big and decided that 
they can be distributed along with .t1 and .afm files.
If somebody asked Debian to do the same for fonts-urw-base35 package, 
above script would be not necessary anymore - for Debian nor its 
derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.).
