We should not install fonts system-wide.

There is packaging and packaging. "Packaging" doesn't care whether the font is classified, under NDA, closed source, DRM'd and encrypted; it's just files. Now if you want it to be installable from debian, sure. I completely agree we need the functionality to install a font (locally)... but as far as shipping goes, there's no reason we should pull in fonts ourselves; let the distro recommend a default font to the user (or X11). > Also it will be cool if the tool can auto-detect an existing Windows > installation and import the fonts in it.
