Package: mathematica-fonts
Version: 13
Severity: normal

The downloaded Mathematica fonts archive contains also Bitstream
Vera font and it ends installed when you install mathematica-fonts
package. There are however at least two reasons to for this font to
be skipped by the postinst script:

1. Bitstream Vera already is present as package in Debian and it's
absence in the system usually means there was a reason not to install
it. Another package may suggest or recommend it if needed, but must
never globally install own copy.

2. Many programs that work fine when Bitstream Vera is either absent
or substituted fail to show non-latin characters when it is present.

Because of this i think the postinst script must be changed to delete
./Fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf before moving ./Fonts/TTF/*.ttf
