Package: fonts-wine
Version: 8.0.1~repack-2
I just did a dist upgrade and got the change that moves the wine fonts
into the global /usr/share/fonts path where all programs use them. This
appears to be in response to issue #883973.
Please revert this change. These are not the real Microsoft fonts, but
rather similar fonts created by the Wine folk. Tahoma, in particular,
doesn't render nicely at all. It has very bad kerning and does not
anti-alias.
Tahoma is very frequently referenced in emails and documents, and this
change makes it really hard to read those texts, where previously there
was a good substitution.
The correct way to install Microsoft fonts is mscorettfonts. Using
substitutes is okay in Wine, but shouldn't affect the experience outside
of Wine.
