Just chatting to Knut about this. me: ah. bloody fonts. me: historically I have found fonts are the biggest hurdle to large scale gov FOSS migration projects. The hidden little IP landmines which break everything :-) It was also the primary difference between staroffice (sun commercial) and openoffice. The proprietary font packs. Maybe we need to investigate these jasper fonts a bit more closely. Getting font liberated is a good thing.
