We examine whether cubic nonlinearities, allowed by symmetry in the elastic energy of a contact line, may result in a different universality class at depinning. Standard linear elasticity predicts a roughness exponent zeta=1/3 (one loop), zeta=0.388 +/- 0.002 (numerics) while experiments give zeta approximate to 0.5. Within functional renormalization group methods we find that a nonlocal Kardar-Parisi-Zhang-type term is generated at depinning and grows under coarse graining. A fixed point with zeta approximate to 0.45 (one loop) is identified, showing that large enough cubic terms increase the roughness. This fixed point is unstable, revealing a rough strong-coupling phase. Experimental study of contact angles theta near pi/2, where cubic terms in the energy vanish, is suggested.
