Since Wine is all about emulating a non-free OS, it makes sense to recommend something that's an integral part of that OS, its fonts; undoubtedly, many applications Wine is trying to run will assume they're there. Anyone willing to run Wine in the first place is unlikely to be against installing anything from contrib. I plan to try to propose a policy amendment (allowing software in "otherosfs" to recommend from "contrib") when I have the time, or at least bring it up for discussion. An alternative I'm open to is to bring the whole Wine package into contrib, but I assume that's not a preferred solution. Anyway, I'll defer to any consensus on this, but until there is one, I'll leave the recommends. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
