well that's a valid point, I'm not sure it's valid to depend upon msttcorefonts even as a second alternative. That's why I thought of ttf-liberation as a recommends first. It would be pulled by apt or aptitude, though people can remove it without removing the metapackage that *IS* handy. THe problem with ttf-liberation is that it supersedes msttcorefonts while it's nowhere near being a decent replacement on my screen. It would be dead space I wouldn't care, but it actually degrades my experience. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madco...@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
