Yes, package name "wqy-microhei-fonts` in OSS, developed at M17N:fonts > If I'm not mistaken, this is the "old approach" to define and use fonts > in FOP.

I see, then I'll SR a patch to suse-xsl-stylesheets. As they're not on git, I can just open a ticket on sf. > These are commercial fonts.

Preferably open > source. :)) > I recommend wqy-*-fonts. wqy(文泉驿) is the main open source project for Chinese fonts: http://wenq.org/wqy2/index.cgi?Home led by Chinese students in MIT. They provided an easy to use web interface to create fonts. Every user can contribute, thus their fonts covered a lot more glyphs than any commerical fonts. BTW, the Chinese part of Google Droid fonts are based on this project. Actually modern linux (sles needs to be stable, so it's a little "old") all use their fonts as default. And using wqy can avoid the problem that you have to install "FZSongTi", then openSUSE automatcially set it as your ugly display font. FZ fonts are used for printing, they didn't display well on LC/EDs. > Could you send us your fixes?

I'll fix suse-xsl-stylesheets and susedoc. Holiday is the 1st priority, so just enjoy life. fixes can wait.
