[Fedora-fonts-list] Re: The Fedora Fonts SIG is open

[Jens Petersen]

Hi,

Sorry for the late followup, finally I got round to writing something.

Thanks, Nicolas, for all your work in getting this up and running. :)
I feel this SIG is pretty important for the future of Fedora: after all 
text is still the bread and butter of computing... :-)

Great start!

Ok, as long as this list doesn't just become a bug list I am ok with 
that.  People could also just subscribe to the font-problems bug in 
bugzilla though?

Perhaps we should have a first SIG meeting on IRC before too long? :)

Some of my plans for F9 include:

- lots of comps cleanup: eg finish moving all fonts from @base-x to 
@fonts and @legacy-fonts - there is a lot of duplication in f8 since the 
new groups were added a bit late in the cycle

- proposal to switch the default font for Japanese to VLGothic-fonts 
which is a nice new modern Japanese font

- hope to get some Thai outline fonts packages reviewed and added

- maybe some rationalization of the current fonts-* metapackages

- document our all our main current default fonts in the wiki pages
