Hello,

currently the unionfs branch of the LiveCD contains the following TrueType 
fonts:

Bitstream Vera
Luxi
(those two come with Xorg and do more harm than good)

FreeFont
DejaVu
(those two added because of insufficient Unicode coverage of the standard 
fonts)

However, there are some questions.

1. Is it necessary to keep Bitstream Vera? DejaVu is a derivative work that 
contains all glyphs originally present in Bitstream Vera in their original 
form, plus many others. Fontconfig can be configured to look for DejaVu when 
applications ask for Bitstream Vera.

2. Which of the fonts, FreeMono or DejaVu Sans Mono, should be the default 
monospace font?

3. Currently only FreeFont covers Greek among installed fonts, but Xorg seems 
to reject it as an ISO-8859-7 capable font 
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fonts.scale. Any ideas or suggestions? Any 
other wanted fonts?

4. Is there any way to legally include Microsoft fonts on the CD?
