While the default "Sans" may be good enough for most European scripts, it may cause problems for Arabic, Asian, South Asian scripts, etc. "Sans" usually resolves to DejaVu Sans, etc, which often carry suboptimal glyphs from non Latin scripts (to serve as a worst case fallback if nothing else is available). This can be worked around with clever fontconfig rules, but that would be painful to do for each and every script out there, and it might be useful to allow the user to choose the font-face along with the size. -sdg- -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Uruguay's LATU has done a lot of in-house development. Some of it from the top of my head are Escribir Especial (http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4265) and Libraria, a bundle of books using the Help activity (or was it Browse?) as a base. Maybe Daniel Castelo and/or Esteban Arias can comment? At Ceibal 2009 were exposed some games developed by local companies with funding from the Rayuela Project (so funded by the Ceibal Plan and IADB), but as far as I know those are proprietary products.
