That is not viable; AW will not run without its fonts setup. If the default installation did not include the fonts, then the user would not be able to run AW after s/he installs it (that also means no easy access to the online help). S/he would have to set up the fonts by hand before AW would start up, and that is far from straight forward (I know, because I get lot of emails from non- English users who need to set up the extra font directories by hand). If we do not install the fonts by default, we will be inundated by tons of user emails requiring assistance to setup the fonts. On the other hand, it is _very_ simple to remove fonts from the existing installation, and use the existing installation as a template for adding different fonts. What we probably should do is to run some pre-install script that would ascertain whether the fonts we are planning to install are already found in the path, and if so point the user to detailed instrucitons on removing our fonts (I would be reluctant to give a choice not to install the fonts for the same reasons I do not want the fonts not installed by default).
