Package: sun-java6-fonts
Version: 6.25-1
Severity: wishlist
Usertags: defoma-removal
As found in a test in Bug #620385 [1], with minimal test program in [2],
both sun-java6 and openjdk VM seem to be able to access fontconfig fonts
without defoma support.

[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620385#35
Previously, the defoma hint was misunderstood to be needed for Thai Java
app users, as some Java widgets appear to hard-code Lucida font for Thai
rendering, which is only provided by sun-java6-fonts. But the tests above
found that merely installing the font files in ~/.fonts without defoma
hint also works.
So, the hint can probably be dropped if no non-Java apps are found to rely
on it. Instead, it can be converted to fontconfig snippet.
Note that defoma is to be removed as a proposed release goal [3].
