Alan, thanks for your efforts here.

Is that possible, and would it make any significant difference? Are any of these font sets not used in the default configuration and thus candidates to be split out (like misc, perhaps)? Just looking for ways to cut this a bit more, if possible. > FSWxorg-fonts-cyrillic: Cyrillic > /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic, 427k > Since we're supporting Russian on the primary CD, I guess this one will still end up there, but splitting it seems worthwhile in case we were to adjust the locales on the CD.
