This is all legacy core fonts stuff that won't work at all in any i18n context (ISO8859-1 is not even sufficient for major European languages such as French, you'd need ISO8859-15, but then most core font apps are not even smart enough to use anything but ISO8859-1). The application should be changed upstream to use fontconfig and unicode, and then you wouldn't need to require anything at all (you could require font(courier) if you had a specific stylistic requirement in the app, but most of the times that's counter-productive in a fontconfig context) -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
