I doesn't know if it's a good idea but in commercial CD you could put ever
what you want....;-)

It won't answer my request since it's better to put support for windows codec
than install things that depend on mainsoft lib's .
You will not support a lot of codec by doing this .
example : I want to play divx windows media does not support divx so....
it's better to put support for windows codecs since it's an open source
solution.
like for the ttf font ....
