In order to render text for all the languages supported by the
installer, ATM we're actually using quite a few font files:

FreeSansBold.ttf
FreeSansOblique.ttf
FreeSans.ttf
ae_AlMohanad.ttf
ja.ttf
ko.ttf
zh.ttf
MuktiNarrow_11-08-2005.ttf
DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf
DejaVuSans.ttf
Gargi_1.7.ttf
Saab.ttf

it's true that the files are used only by one application though;
don't know if this is going to change once g-i will use cdebconf
plugins.  The point is that I thought a fc-cache run, for example, was
absolutely necessary and that's why I filed the bug; if I'm wrong and
the file is needed only for debugging purposes, I have no problem 
closing
the bug and we can live useing wget to bring the fc-* binaries into 
the 
g-i environment if / when needed.

regards,
Davide
