For Fedora 11 we've trying to move all our fonts in fontconfig space, with symlinks to other parts of the filesystem for apps that do not use fontconfig http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Repackaging_of_Fedora_fonts I think the Fedora 12 cycle will probably start by mass bug-filling against apps that need those symlinks. -- Nicolas Mailhot
