What I meant is: “I wouldn’t worry about breaking things by removing
EOT files from documentation”.

Probably nobody is going to read documentation for The GIMP or similar
on an appliance running embedded Windows, and in most cases (e.g. for
The GIMP) those font files are not really _needed_ to begin with, just
used for a “house style”, so text would still be readable without them.
