Hi, I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. The idea behind using reserved font names is to avoid conflicting namespace between upstream and the various derivatives offering different Unicode coverage and features. It's about keeping users from expecting a feature which may not be present in a particular font. (See FAQ entries 2.7 and 2.8 for more details: http://scripts.sil.org/OFL-FAQ_web ) . And yes, we'd like to get the right free software font licensing model *recognized* by the Debian community so that *any DD or Debian contributor* can improve the fonts either through patches sent upstream or through a derivative offering better coverage of a specific script (or Unicode block). It's true that there are *a lot* of missing glyphs that need adding. What we intend the license to provide is a good collaborative layer that will ultimately allow many more users to enjoy Debian in their own language :-D Ps: sorry for the late reply -- Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
