I looked into this one since it was causing mate to not appear for i686-linux. I wasn't able to remove the java dependency for the font, generating the font explicitly imports cffsubr. Python-cffsubr needs python-afdko for the 'tx' command. I suppose we could re-bundle it but I haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet. Or we could just make that font optional. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
