[wxPython-users] Debian dependencies

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi Stani,

No I don't .. I have this also when I only install python-wxgtk2.8,
and not my app. This is somewhere in the wxPython (or wxWidgets)
distrib that the ttf- font was needed, and it dragged along a lot of
extra dependencies. for people not having wxPython or wxWidgets, it is
a huge footprint that they get extra.

Regards,
- Jorgen
