If you're asking whether we plan to include support for core fonts in
OLPC the answer is no. Not if we can avoid it :-)

We really don't want to rebuild X.org for OLPC if we can avoid it.

There's also a world outside OLPC and Fedora, namely other derived
distributions based on Fedora. They too will benefit from the requests
we now put on the table and hopefully their life will become simpler too
if we get the dependencies and package split-ups right in Core.
