Bug Description

The following fonts are referenced by themes included in mythbuntu, but are not present in the mythbuntu distribution. This makes the themes not display as intended. The largest part of this would be solved by installing the msttcorefonts package. If that can't be done for licensing reasons, at least include something similar to the w32codecs installation in mythbuntu control center.

Arial is used in many themes, including the music ui for the default Mythbuntu-8.04 theme. It can be found in msttcorefonts.

Arial Black is a variant used by blue, minimalist-wide, and Titivillus, also provided by msttcorefonts.

Arial Narrow is used by the default-wide, Minimalist-wide, and Titivillus themes, but unfortunately isn't included in msttcorefonts, or any other packages I can find.

Tahoma appears to be another microsoft font not install by msttcorefonts, but it's referenced by Mythbuntu-7.10/ui.xml It was apparently dropped from the msttcorefonts because it lacked a bold counterpart. Perhaps the Mythbuntu-7.10 theme shouldn't use it then.

Trebuchet MS is used by all kinds of themes. This font is provided by the msttcorefonts package

Not being hebrew, it's no big deal to me, but default/keyboard/he_ui.xml uses Nachlieli CLM provided by the culmus package.

So, thanks to ttf-liberation (installed by default), any fonts that ask to use Arial automatically use Liberation Sans.

I think we should patch all the other packages though to use different fonts.

This bug was fixed in the package myththemes - 1:0.22.0~trunk22197-0ubuntu1

---------------
myththemes (1:0.22.0~trunk22197-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream checkout. (LP: #439201)
    - Reflects ONLY themes that have been ported to MythUI.
    - The rest of the themes have been dropped.
    - Themes now depend only on dejavu (LP: #224114)
  * Unfortuantely, introduce an epoch. This is so this can supercede
    the standalone metallurgy-wide and metallurgy-osd themes that were
    sitting in the archive rotting.
  * debian/control:
    - Update to reflect current themes.
  * debian/rules:
    - Update to same stub used for mythtv-themes-extra

This has been fixed in the trunk packaging recently. It will be seen in the next 0.23 based autobuilds build available at http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds.

This bug will be automatically closed when a new build containing the fix is uploaded to the current development release (Lucid Lynx).
