Please make texlive-fonts-recommended depend on xfonts-scalable and replace the
font copy with symlinks. Also, then it does not make sense anymore to symlink
these fonts into /usr/share/fonts to make them available for fontconfig, since
they will already be there via xfonts-scalable.

Best regards,

Fabian

Hi Fabian,

I did it and surprise ... got a lintian error:
Tag: package-depends-on-an-x-font-package
Severity: important
Certainty: certain
Info: Packages must not depend on X Window System font packages.
 .
 If one or more of the fonts so packaged are necessary for proper operation
 of the package with which they are associated the font package may be
 Recommended; if the fonts merely provide an enhancement, a Suggests
 relationship may be used.
Ref: policy 11.8.5


Recommend is not possible, because that would result in dangling
symlinks.

So that is not possible. Closing this bug.

Norbert
