Package: graphviz
Version: 2.26.3-5
Severity: wishlist
Hi David, Christoph, et al,
The graphviz package has "Recommends: ttf-liberation" but does not
mention in the package description that this is for the Times font.
I also wonder: why not use the desktop's default "serif" font
by default instead? What are the consequences of not having Times
available? Would it be safe to demote the Recommends to a Suggests?
Thanks for keeping graphviz working well.
