Woah. Abogado loco sure sounds like fun ;-)

Find a file somehow belonging to the font you are interested in.
Do "dpkg -L <file name with path>" on it.

This will tell you which package this file came with.

Then you can, with "aptitude why <package name>" refine on why
this package has been installed.
