Fonts not installed.

This is why you can't find these nice fonts (from [1]):

In short this is Debian policy. If you want those fonts they can be
found in Ubuntu Warty Multiverse package ttf-xfree86-nonfree. I think
this package also exists in Hoary's Multiverse.

Now if any Ubuntu dev is looking at this what do you have to say about
this quote from [1] when compared with this quote from [2]?:

> Debian and Ubuntu are grounded on the same free software philosophy.
> Both groups are explicitly committed to building an operating system of
> free software.
> 
> Differences between the groups lie in their treatment of non-computer
> applications (like documentation, fonts and binary firmware) and
> non-free software. 

Now, I'm a big supporter of Free Software but this fonts matter I don't
really know much about to decide myself if they should be Free (as in
freedom) or not. Anyway there seems to be a contradiction between [2]
and [1], unless the problem is a legal one and not strictly
phylosophical.
