is a real mess. some languages get special treatment (like chinese, japanese, korean, russian), some not (arabic). some are in x11 some are in print, some are elsewhere. most of these fonts are a dependency--a runtime dependency for some utilities or programs but this is a trivial change for their maintainers. i know this categorization is way too subjective but for me it would be much more logical to have the chinese rxvt in x11 and all the chinese fonts in fonts. instead we have special languages treated specially. > I do like the suggestion of adding fonts to CATEGORIES, though. > Perhaps one of the original proponents might like to send a diff. it is definitely a good start. i can give it a try. is there a list of CATEGORIES somewhere that needs updating as well? or just patch the makefiles everywhere? alas, i still think this change will have to be done, the sooner the better. this will only get worse later with much more fonts in the future. -f ps. and sorry, i said liberty fonts, i meant liberation fonts -- often the test of courage is not to die but to live.
