15 The font token starts with the foundry it's from -- b&h. This translates
16 to bh in the package name. It's specified using the old core fonts setup
17 (the foo-blah-*-foo-140-*-etc), so I know it's probably a bitmap font,
18 meaning 75dpi or 100dpi. It's not lucidatypewriter but just lucida, so
19 I'm able to eliminate those font-bh-lucidatypewriter-* packages. That
20 just leaves font-bh-{100,75}dpi.
