The OSDL DTL Technical Board is organizing a number of conference calls on topics that, the tech board believes, are affecting Desktop Linux adoption. This week's agenda topic is dedicated to Font support on Linux.
OSDL DTL organized the second OSDL Desktop Architects Meeting (DAM) earlier this year and the availability and support of high quality fonts in emerging markets (e.g. Asia) as well as document fidelity between different Linux distributions were identified as font-related issues that could be improved. We hereby want to invite interested people to this weeks DTL Tech Board Call to talk about current efforts around fonts, licensing, etc. Goal for the call is to improve the understanding of font issues as they exist in current generation Linux Desktop systems, inform people about current initiatives related to fonts and, if possible, mobilize individual contributors, OSDL and other corporate resources to help these efforts along.
