I've opened #280567 against mozilla-browser, to add a suggest
(firefox does that already). I guess we can close these bugs.
Hmm: on the one hand I don't like to throw away the work I've done,
on the other hand it is surplus now.
To all: What do you think? Should we close that bug or are the other
fonts in tetex-extra (which are not covered by latex-xft-fonts) worth
to provide them to the rest of the world?
