Bug#946699: wine: Lotus Notes 6.5 font drop down list corrupt after upgrade to buster

no complaint from apt-get remove

and bingo:

number of fonts down to 858

and Notes font list looks tidy again :-)

Many thanks for your assistance.
Looks like I owe you a beer or so :-)

Well, partly.
Why is the debian default setting so overcrowded?
I know, it's a debatable policy issue.

Or did I catch this font flu by playing too much with different
versions, fonts, whatever...?

Anyway, for me, the state is "works again" and I'll leave policy
decisions to the debian team.
