Description
Redistributing them is forbidden. Your source tree contains Arial and Times.
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/RedistributionFAQ.mspx
While the reference to Arial in ossimPlanetQt/src/gui/ossimPlanetQtLegend.cpp should pose no problem, because of Qt's behaviour to pick the font closest to Arial.
The references in ossimPlanet/src/ossimPlanet/ossimPlanetAnnotationLayer.cpp and a few other files seem problematic to me though.
Many distributions don't want to bundle fonts and must therefore remove them, which requires changing code in this case.
