Comment 49 for bug 412195

I have reported the separate bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/514493

The comments after "by the way" in #45 reflect a misunderstanding of the user experience, and a lack of attention to what I wrote in #44:
 * I did not express like or dislike of the font. That's not relevant.
 * I did not claim the fontconfig treatment of ttf-tahoma-replacment was not *intended* by the developers/maintainers of those packages.

I simply pointed out that the overall behaviour is *unexpected* (to users), and we can confirm that it is *not advertised* (by, or to, anyone) by looking at the package descriptions.

Indeed, even if users felt that the Tahoma replacement IMPROVED the appearance of some websites, they would STILL be surprised that this change only happened when they installed wine1.2.

Put another way, bugs can arise from software that functions perfectly but ships with configuration that causes confusion in users. This is clearly the case in bug #514493.
