Hi,
our current GTK+ packages recommend a single Truetype font (ttf-dejavu-sans).
This might pull in a quite large font collection that might be different from
what the user wants. For a Japanese image e.g. you might not want these at all
or you might just want different fonts (like the Android ones).
I would be fine removing this RRECOMMENDS entry without any replacement. Another
option would be to create a virtual provider for basic ttf fonts and define a
matching run time dependency.
What do you think?
I added that RECOMMENDS years ago to ensure people have a working
system. Are you volunteering to fix up all images and tasks containing
gtk+ apps to include at least one font?
In your japanese android usecase people can just install their favourite
japanese font and use BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS to uninstall ttf-deja-sans at
do_rootfs time.
I fail to see how your proposals don't regress things for the majority
of our current users.
regards,
Koen
