Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.4.debian-2+b1
Severity: normal

ttf-freefont can easily interfere fontconfig by getting high priority 
in font selection, while it provides bad metrics for Thai. It's kind of
compromise with Latin font metrics, causing the lines to be clipped.
I'm sure this also affects many other languages with similar
characteristic.

So, a sensible solution is to remove ttf-freefont to let local fonts 
show up in fontconfig. However, this is prevented by vlc's dependency 
on it.

If there is no good reason for the dependency, it should be lowered 
into Recommends or Suggests.
