Bug Description

When I launch netflix-desktop, it asks me if I want it to install MS TrueType fonts. I click yes, then it fails somehow. When I launch netflix-desktop again, it keeps asking me to let it install MS TrueType fonts... Again and again...

As a workaround, I can manually `sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer` and relaunch netflix-desktop, but I shouldn't have to do this.

Please make ttf-mscorefonts-installer a dependency, so that apt automatically installs it BEFORE netflix-desktop is even installed, let alone launched.

Update: I hear that MS TrueType fonts may be no longer required for netflix-desktop to function. If so, then please remove the prompt altogether.
