Using defoma for building package ?
Hi, I am packaging a game, Wormux. This game use the font DejaVuSans which is already a Debian package. How can I use Defoma (I think this is the tool to use for this) to get this font path when building my package so that it could depend on the DejaVuSans package rather than including the font in the wormux-data package. Or maybe does it exist a debhelper for this but I can not get is name... Note: I RTFM :-) and had a look at several others game package (penguin-racer, gltron and some others) and they all embbed the font files into the -data package.

The trouble is this game has been translated into Russian and could be in Arabic too. What mechanisms exists to get the name of related fonts in non latin alphabet ?
