Wine fonts

[Jens Reyer]

Hi,

I'm currently working on the correct Debian packaging of the fonts.
Afaik vanilla wine installs the following ttf-fonts:
marlett.ttf
symbol.ttf
tahomabd.ttf
tahoma.ttf
wingding.ttf

I realize that these are indeed necessary for the fon-fonts to display
correctly.

However in the source there are additionally the following ttf:
courier.ttf
fixedsys_jp.ttf
fixedsys.ttf
ms_sans_serif.ttf
small_fonts_jp.ttf
small_fonts.ttf
system.ttf

Shouldn't these be installed, too? I haven't noted any difference, but
that could be because I don't know how to test this. Can anybody with
more knowledge enlighten me?

Thanks in advance!

No, the second set of .ttf's are generated as an intermediate stage in
the build process of the .fon fonts.  These should not be installed.
