[Assist] ec fonts

[Tom]

It seems that the cm-super is already included as part of
texlive-core, but the ec fonts are not part of that package (I'm sorry
for the confusion).

Instead, it seems, that those files are part of some other package,
which seems to be missing in Parabola. I have found the following
reference to the "ecrm" fonts in the list of files in the
texlive-coreon the Arch website
(https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/texlive-core/files/):

usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm1000.mf
usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecrm1000.tfm

I'm quite new here and am not sure, how exactly the packaging works
and which package does provide those fonts then. But it seems to me,
that the ec fonts are be free (see
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ecfonts).
