That ignores the costs/benefits of each individual case. I think it's
completely sane to ship TTF files in the source/git trees. They're small,
annoying to generate (because many people don't have FontForge), so the
cost is low and the benefit is high.

Alexandre already applies the same reasoning to shipping the built
configure script.

Certainly adding yet more code we have to maintain to the tree doesn't
make much sense.
