Hi,
I'd like to renew this thread, since we didn't get a great amount of
feedback last time. Also, one of the issues mentioned (but a little
downplayed) is the significance of removing the firmware updating code
from olpc.fth. Having stale code duplicated from the firmware in
olpc.fth bit us
Hi,
At the moment we ship the Latin-Greek-Cyrillic stripped-down version
of the DejaVu font set as our default font.
This works well for many, but doesn't include glyphs(characters) that
are important for some deployments who actively use recent OS images.
e.g. Armenia, Canada (e.g. Inuktitut

Yes please! I made a half-hearted attempt at pushing for this in
12.1.0 cycle, and dropped the ball halfway.

IMHO, this is tiny compared to the tradeoff at hand.
I mean tiny compared to the benefit. The tradeoff is completely desirable...

Something to watch out for is the content of /usr/lib/locale.

language recognized, I now pay attention to the content of that

DISCLAIMER: I am not asking for help -- I'm sharing ny experiences
I often perform 'yum upgrade' - just to pick up the latest fixes from
Fedora. But with 12.1.0 on an XO-1.5, I am encountering 'cpio' errors
when the upgrade tries to unpack certain packages (e.g.,
gnome-keyring-3.4.1-3).
IIRC its only the CJK fonts which really bloat the build. There's an old
bug in trac which discussed fonts at length; it might be worth digging that
up to ensure we're still covering all the languages we were covering then.
