I think by looking at the dependencies you are targeting the wrong
part of the problem. Rather than trying to arrange for these
troublesome fonts not to be installed, you should probably instead
arrange for the fontconfig configuration to prefer other fonts even
when the troublesome ones are present. Otherwise people who happen to
install those troublesome fonts for other reasons will still find that
things break. Thanks, Ian.
Sorry, what I said was not accurate. There will be rendering bugs if
these old fonts are installed AND the user still has some old
preferences for these fonts in about:config. However, the support for
these fonts has been totally removed in the most recent versions of
Iceweasel, so that should not happen any more. So removing these
suggestions (which has already been done) was really because they are
totally useless now. My main concern was to add suggestion for newer
fonts to improve the MathML rendering. I'll open a bug when the
MathJax's maintainer has uploaded his change.
