Hi,

I've noticed that the current gsfonts package is "built" from different sources (and I'm also aware of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42391). However, I've got two issues with it.

First of all, the fonts have now different names. For example, "Nimbus Sans L" is now just "Nimbus Sans". That means that all applications that were set to use the font now need to be re-configured. That's of course something I'll have to do but maybe a warning (ideally on the front page/RSS or at least in a post install message) would be good.

The second problem is worse. It seems that this version of the fonts doesn't contain all characters it used to. For example Czech diacritical characters seem to be missing (again, at least within Nimbus Sans). Does anyone know what the reason is? It's obviously not a packaging problem, the sources must lack them. For me it is a regression which makes the fonts unusable. :-( So my question basically is whether this is fixable or whether I should look for a different default font (I've been using Nimbus Sans L as a default font for everything for many, many years).

Thank you. Ondra
