I looked into this one since it was causing mate to not appear for
i686-linux. I wasn't able to remove the java dependency for the font,
generating the font explicitly imports cffsubr. Python-cffsubr needs
python-afdko for the 'tx' command. I suppose we could re-bundle it but I
haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet.

Or we could just make that font optional.
