Oblique is something even more "pending" than italic and the GTK
frontend never uses oblique formatting, so the *oblique*.ttf files can
also be deleted from font packages right now to save up some Kbytes.
So, you actually mean we could remove the below *Oblique files from
the udeb, right ?

Similarly, if I understand Davide correctly, two more ranges could be
stripped from the fonts in the udeb?
yes: oblique is not used anywhere in the GTK frontend, only italic and
in the two indicated cases (question description and text beneath
progressbar).
Italic is not necessary (we could use bold to replace italic), and
moreover i don't know if it makes sense using italic with ideogrammatic
(japanese, chinese ... ) alphabets: intl translator, what do you think?
I'm for cutting down font space occupation: we may be not so far away
from the target of running a complete g-i installation process with 64
megs of ram only.
