Font language support shouldn't be 'include 9 million glyphs of various artistic types and what-not'. We just need basic support for Thai, Khmer, and Lao, so the simpler / smaller, the better. If they want some other font, they should install it IMHO. Hopefully, someday, there'll be a nice all language font that isn't too big. Until then... Another Q - where exactly am I patching? When I helped with the ICU update, a archive was added to the web server and the download.list was used. In that case, the only patch would be for the download.list. Or, should we have a font contribution subfolder/submodule that contains each font in the master that contains all of the embedded fonts? That way in review process, people can look at the font and determine if it's a good idea to add and is open and etc... -Robert
