Just a quick update:
Redhat has made some fonts that are metrically identical to the usable
(ie not Webdings) msttcorefonts. I have submitted a package of these to
the repository universe reviewers (but I understand Debian is also
working on packaging it - but have a concern about the licence the
That would be a good option, as it would be a useable substitution
across other packages that require msttcorefonts. Also it would mean
future or unpatched themes for mythtv would still function correctly.

themes or if it will need patched for that?
Either way, adding alternative fonts as a
I'd be open to patching all packages to use similar, free alternatives.
Currently, most themes use:
while a few use FreeSans and a few other fonts.
Perhaps a better solution is to set a sort of fallback option should these
fonts not be installed.

It'd be nice to not require msttcorefonts, surely the mythtv-themes
