Using them is not a problem.  Those are part of the GNU system, and
you can install the packages thru your distro's package system (but I
expect they are preinstalled anyway).

It might be an inconvenience on non-GNU systems.  We give them low
priority, but if you feel like writing code in htmlfontify to do without
them, that is ok.

I would expect it is not very hard to fix htmlfontify to solve all its
practical drawbacks.
