I think part of the trouble stems from the fact that many of these
fonts are not the fonts that they claim to be.  For example,
gnome-font-viewer asserts that the "Arial" recently shipped by
wine-arial-fonts is actually Liberation Sans 2.00.1.  Is this even
legal?

The "Arial" font being shipped originates from a third-party patch set[1] that aims for Netflix compatibility. It[2] uses the Liberation Sans font, calls it Arial, and ships it.

If there are legal concerns over the use of this font I will remove it.
