Hello everyone.

The media-fonts/corefonts package that currently is a hard depency for app-emulation/wine package should be optional.

I suggest:

1) If the user wants the Microsoft corefonts package then he/she can just add "corefonts" USE flag (just like media-gfx/imagemagick allready uses).

2) If the user doesn't want the corefonts package then the media-fonts/liberation-fonts package (good/risk free substitute for Microsoft fonts made by Red Hat) should be used.




Reproducible: Always

Changing the dependency to
  || ( media-fonts/corefonts media-fonts/liberation-fonts )
would probably be the better alternative than adding yet another USE flag.
