[Bug 299427] Re: dpkg: error processing ttf-mathematica4.1 (--install)

[Hilton Garcia Fernandes]

indeed, it works. Thanks, Sigmund. 

that said, it would be nice to have these fonts. while the package is not corrected, it seems the howto named "Linux XFT and MathML", at 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Linux_XFT_and_MathML

is a good place to start.

all the best,
hilton

As Gianluca Pettinello underlined, it is easy to create the fonts for
removal, you do not even need to use a real one, but simply touch them:

mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml
cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml

touch math1b__.ttf math2b__.ttf math3b__.ttf math4b__.ttf math1mb__.ttf
math2mb__.ttf math3mb__.ttf math4mb__.ttf math1m__.ttf math2m__.ttf
math3m__.ttf math4m__.ttf

defoma-font register-all /etc/defoma/hints/ttf-mathematica4.1.hints
