[publican-list] Propose pushing 1.4 - DELAYED

FYI 1.4 has been pushed back waiting on a resolution for 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557336

It is also apparent that the PDF language selection is way out of date. 
If you have any idea about which font should be used for your language 
please take a look at https://fedorahosted.org/publican/wiki/FontMatrix 
and let us know if you can fill in any blanks.

The reasons this information is required are:

1: The font package must be know so that when building translated 
documentation in Koji, or on the desktop, the font can be pulled in.

2: The font name, as detailed in the font not it's file name, needs to 
be supplied to FOP so it can be used when generating the PDF.

3: True Type font collections can not be automatically handled by FOP, 
so we have to process the font when building publican so that the font 
can be used by FOP.

It's ugly but we need to knock this on the head before 1.4 comes out.

Cheers, Jeff.
