Keep in mind that sorcery behaviour is undefined when you have two
spells installed which provide the same thing. ie having lestif and
motif installed and profiding tif, casting nedit which requires tif
would cause it to depend on one or the other randomly (in reality, it's
alphabetical or first cast that will get it, but this shouldn't be
relyed on).
I'm not sure what these three font things are, but if they can all be
installed together (no CONFLICTS), provides will not necesarily do what
you want.
