I'm sorry not to respond earlier, but I've been busy with other things and
had to put the debian stuff aside for a while. Anyhow, as for the fonts,
they come with a license that they are free for use, albeit (of course) not 
in the FSF or Debian sense, so I guess it should be removed and replaced
with something else. The third font was taken by a member of the Caudium
project from a free font site (I can't remember which and the member is gone
with the wind, and I can't contact him) but I remember we did check whether
it was free in the FSF sense. So that one can stay. The fonts are not
essential to Caudium workings although their lack does limit the
functionality a bit. So, I will make necessary changes tomorrow and try to
use the prepackaged Bitstream Vera fonts.

Once again I'm sorry for the delay,

regards,

marek
