 Kathy and I looked at the https://github.com/arthuredelstein/tor-
 browser/commits/16672+3 commits; we think they are OK. One thing to keep
 in mind is that completely relying on the fonts.conf file means that users
 should always use our scripts to start Tor Browser... but I think they
 already have to do so for other reasons.
