See attached InstallAndUseFonts.patch (applies to git branch stretch,
where we currently package the fonts from). It:
- adds the ttf fonts
- backports upstream's patch to take the fontdir specified at build time
into account
- sets fontdir /usr/share/wine/fonts

This should solve all user visible fonts related issues in both wine and
wine-development.

Initially I thought that this requires to manually change the Makefile
to build the TrueType fonts. However I noted that this happens upstream
in "maintainer mode". I implemented that, see attached
RebuildFonts.patch (for branch stretch).

Upstream's maintainer mode sets the CFLAG "-Werror". I reported the
first build failure on a warning at
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40391. (btw: we also get e.g.
"warning: 'install_wine_gecko' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]"
if we use disable/external-installers.patch). I workarounded this by
specifying "-Wno-error".

However upstream told me in that bug report that it is risky to rebuild
the TrueType fonts, because they use a forked fontforge. So what should
we do?

- Don't ship the TrueType fonts (see the already reported issues, bad idea)?
- Ship pre-built TrueType fonts (only InstallAndUseFonts.patch)?
- Regenerate the TrueType fonts (both patches)

What do you think?
