[Bug 412195] Re: ttf-tahoma-replacement makes some web-sites look ugly

[Jaromir Obr]

Just hit a similar issue with "fonts-wine 8.0.1~repack-3ubuntu2" in
Ubuntu 23.10.

Text on the web page https://www.virtualdub.org/altirra.html is rendered
by the font Tahoma and it looks ugly, see

I uninstalled the package "fonts-wine". Now the font Verdana is used on
that page and it looks well, see https://i.imgur.com/P7xO53r.png

I tested it in Chrome and Firefox, with the same result.

Title:
  ttf-tahoma-replacement makes some web-sites look ugly

Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in wine1.2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: wine1.2

  This font package is good for wine 1.2; however, it also makes sites
  look ugly in Firefox and other browsers. I had to manually remove the
  fonts from /usr/share/fonts/ to rectfiy this, because removing the
  package through apt would have made me remove wine 1.2 and I didn't
  want that.
