cuz I just did it that way...I guess I could make everything a suggest
since nothing is truely needed except xlibs...then when someone does a
apt-get install task-anti-aliasing it won't install anything. :)
no for real...yes X does support TTF...however it does not provide certain
support that, for example, xfs-xtt does.
"XFree86 4.0's font server can handle TrueType too, but it
can not handle TTCap. By using TTCap description, support for font
transformations, such as slanting, adjusting glyph width, pseudo-bolding, etc."
Based on this I made a decision to depend on it. you can alwasy choose not
to install it.
