While I do understand what you're saying, I thought I'd pitch in -- I'm not sure if you're aware of the fact that the DejaVu fonts are derivatives of Bitstream Vera, with an extended character set. This means that without changing *anything* but the font file, you'd make lots more users happy. People who use Bitstream Vera and are happy with it wouldn't even notice the change, as the characters that exist in Vera are exactly the same in DejaVu. You're just adding Extended Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and a number of other special characters. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DejaVu_fonts for details. I'm one of those people who need ISO-8859-2, and I also think that while we should have a general solution, the default should address as much as possible, especially if it's completely painless to implement. --J. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
