Comment (by dizygotheca):

 My understanding is that the preferred solution is for themes to supply
 their own fonts (subject to licensing).
 If Droid Sans (& Liberation Sans) were included in the !MythCenter themes
 then packaging wouldn't need to install them.

 See "Face" in
 https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythUI_Theme_Development#Font_definitions

 The "Note" at the end refers to the legacy solution of Myth providing some
 fonts for themes to use (circa 2009). After 2011 themes were supposed to
 provide their own, to avoid issues such as this. Maybe it's time to start
 doing it!
