I'm also not sure of the legality of this - i.e. will the font package in question appear on our ISO and do we have legal rights to do this with our/ubuntu's distribution policies? I will say that the users may complain that wine does not run nicely unless these fonts are installed after. If you've blacklisted the fonts then can they ever install them without throwing a conflict error? There's a lot of testing that will need to be worked on here. Wine is quite a big element of many people's computers. Be careful what you blacklist. Fairly soon I think some MOTU consultation should take place on this matter. Len can you look into these questions? -Eric
