FYI, why debian/control::Recommends is used in place of Depends ---------------------------------------------------------------
The Policy disallows any package for requiring fonts prior installing the software: http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2008/07/msg00173.html "This is because the X server may retrieve fonts from the local file system or over the network from an X font server; the Debian package system is empowered to deal only with the local file system." For more information in same thread later: http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2008/07/msg00176.html The reason for the Policy requirement for Recommends is to enable font servers and not require all the fonts be installed locally when you're running a font server. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
