It may make sense to allow setting of the font as well. While the default "Sans" may be good enough for most European scripts, it may cause problems for Arabic, Asian, South Asian scripts, etc. "Sans" usually resolves to DejaVu Sans, etc, which often carry suboptimal glyphs from non Latin scripts (to serve as a worst case fallback if nothing else is available). This can be worked around with clever fontconfig rules, but that would be painful to do for each and every script out there, and it might be useful to allow the user to choose the font-face along with the size. -sdg- -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
