Title:
More granular font selection for the default install
To manage
(Although I kind of feel like I'm beating a dead horse here) I feel that
it's good for the system to have basic support for other scripts. I'm
just taking a couple of fonts included in the default install that will
add support for the most common scripts for documents and browsers—not
the full
Michiel,
Please visit System-Administration-Language support. Unfold 'Details'
and select 'Arabic'. You will see that u can install 'Additional Fonts'
there. So everything is here in order to take out 'extra' fonts from
ubuntu-desktop.
Once user need indian or japanise, he goes to 'Language
How about we make two packages--one which contains a set of basic
fonts for various scripts (Chinese, Hindi) and another which contains
extra fonts that are not really necessary. The two have separate
meanings, one is practical and the other is mainly for those who want
to use the fonts
the problem is that system acts way faster once there is not a lot of fonts
installed there.
We have enought time for the next release in order to take care of this bug i
think.
What about my proposal to put fonts as a depends to language-pack-*
packages? That will be the simplest and good
an auto font installer ought to be used to add non-latin fonts when
needed. http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2008/12/01/packagekit-and-pango-

We should still define some kind of default, perhaps based on
region. You may not need Mongolian right away, but it might be
annoying to have to regularly deal with pop-ups that tell you to
install a font. It kind of bugs me, like Richard Hughes remarked in
that blog post, that you
Once a user selects there chosen language that should be it. The fonts
are all available to install should a user need them.

Bugs,
It wouldn't be a bad idea to include some other fonts to cover some
of the more common scripts. I'd be more interested in having default
support for Simplified Chinese than a bunch of fancy Latin fonts that
you hardly ever use. Only the basics should be supplied.

I'm fully agree with atie. All this fonts which is in recommends to
ubuntu-desktop should be Recommends or Depends for language-support-* packages.
Not to ubuntu. Big part of ubuntu users need only Latin fonts. The rest is
installing their language support package.
According to me i'm wiping
I think that it should be possible to reduce the amount of default
fonts without giving up on the most often used writing systems. I
personally think that it's important that users of Arabic, Hebrew,
Devanagari, Cyrillic, and eastern logographic writing systems, should
be supported out of
The sole purpose of this is so that if I visit a non-English web page,
it shows up properly (i.e. in the language I can't read)?
I hate the ?s as much as anyone, but I'd like to see a line drawn
somewhere. Maybe 5, like Andy Somerville suggested above. Or, give me

yes, in Paris and then also later on at the GUADEC in Vilanova where
there was a font BoF, we agreed that we need to set up a review process
for each locale to define the most appropriate font (the criteria being
quality of glyphs, Unicode coverage and freeness) to optimize the
overall font set
Mako, is this covered by any of the font discussions at the Paris
summit?
