I'm not sure; these fonts are certainly still in older revsions of the 
repository. They were originally contributed to ReportLab by Just van 
Rossum so perhaps he's the best person to ask. On the other hand is it 
not possible to substitute the latest fonts which we substituted (ie 
DarkGarden)? I believe these were added specifically to assist onward 
distribution at the request of various package maintainers.
