Sorry, bill I thought that was what we were talking about doing.
I look in the data/fonts dir and see nearly 2.5M of fonts, I've added
about 600K of additional fonts supporting 5 languages. It sounded like a
good trade-off to me.

Right, I see what you mean.

It is since I re-worked it to build from the cvs directory, rather than
from a copy of cvs with lots of things moved and added-in, in an ad-hoc
manner :-)
Oh well :-) I was going to ask if we could move the starters, stamps and
new fonts folders into data directory, but I can see that that does fit
with the strategy of making flexible builds for lots of other platforms.
I guess I could enhance the python script to build a complete data
structure, and then test and build the installer from that.
Must dash, I will remove the fonts later, if you don't. Sorry about the
confusion at this end,
cheers,
John.
