Just for comparison here is a list from mine
I had a long session of removing the --not availables last week so it is
faily clean despite having been updated since mga1.

No orphans to remove

Projectlibre excepted (which I have installed locally to try it out), theres
not too many.
So it looks like the rebuild bot did a pretty good job. :-)

I responded to more than your question to try & help > others see the issues too :-) Thinking about it my underlying questions are... 1) how do Magia ensure that all new installs get the right default fonts? Including installs where the user needs characters not supported by Liberation. 2) as a user I don't like to see incoming emails / web pages with blobs replacing missing characters. At least if the character is there I can always shove it through Google translate.

I noticed the change... but on my machine it looks like an improvement :-) I don't know if just my eyesight or the change is having different effects on different set ups.
