Maybe, similarly to the icon > themes, we should just suggest some fonts in pkg_postinst. I think this would be conceptionally wrong. Fonts are a property of the X server and shouldn't be a dependency of an X client (which may even run on a different machine). Already chromium's dependency on virtual/ttf-fonts is wrong, IMHO. We had the same discussion for Emacs some time ago (see bug 137598), and we output a message in pkg_postinst() that Emacs requires fonts. Ulrich
