Description David Heidelberg (okias) 2014-11-23 00:39:04 UTC

Ahem font is not regular font and it's meant for layout testing. In case of regular user it has no meaning.

Other issue can arise, when application (wineconsole for example) searching for default fixed-width font by name and find Ahem first. It cause all their output is rendered with white boxes, which isn't nice.

If could be possible have at least USE flag handling this font, it would be nice.

Thank you

Reproducible: Always
