In all honesty, I'm not particularly anxious to create that metapackage. I thought that since Mr. Douros considers these fonts as a set, there might be others who would too. I'm actually happy to lay that thought to rest. Just out of curiosity though, how would such a metapackage complicate things? Wouldn't it work like the libreoffice metapackage which doesn't have to be installed in order to get some features of the suite? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/[email protected]
