Packages providing fonts -------------------------------- Packages that provide fonts for the X Window System ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [...] [1] For the purposes of Debian Policy, a "font for the X Window System" is one which is accessed via X protocol requests. Fonts for the Linux console, for PostScript renderers, or any other purpose, do not fit this definition. Any tool which makes such fonts available to the X Window System, however, must abide by this font policy. Fonts in /usr/share/fonts are TrueType fonts, not fonts which are being accessed via X protocol requests. > 2) I am seeing documented *intentional* package compatibility issues in > build and in dpkg install areas.
