Mh. Indeed, either of them works as replacement (I did a number of
dances “purge one font, run steam, see bug reappear, install next
font, run steam, see bug go away” now), which means you can put them
in some order of preference (never heard of croscore before, and read
about liberation on LWN once only…) in Depends.
