Public bug reported: I originally posted this as a question under the "Answers" section and was encouraged to report this as a bug.
I noticed the the (large set of) M+ fonts were added to Retroarch as a dependency recently, when they appeared in LibreOffice and investigated using Synaptic. It looks like only one of the fonts is actually used, and furthermore appears to be embedded in the source. See: https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-assets/tree/master/xmb/monochrome and https://github.com/libretro/retroarch- assets/commit/3bac2689d8caa84091d37f7e6355703239af67e2. If this is the case, then the font dependency should be unnecessary. Perhaps likewise for Roboto. Full disclosure: I actually noticed this first with the "Libretro Stable" PPA on Xenial, but being unfamiliar with Launchpad found the same problem with the official Zesty package and ended up posting against the distro package from there. Not sure if I should make a duplicate post for the PPA. ** Affects: retroarch-assets (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1677077 Title: Unnecessary (?) font dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/retroarch-assets/+bug/1677077/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
