I would push for having the udebs without stripping. We can then play with those eventually turning them into tarballs and once we've found the right combination of font files / ranges we can file bugs asking to perform some stripping. I definitely agree with Frans. I expanded the spellchecker as to compute the list of codepoints needed by every language (see [1], "codepoints" column); from what I've seen in the few days it's been running, the list of codepoints is quite stable. My idea for finding out a "safe" list of codepoints is to use a list collected over a long period of time; it can be done using the following: cp collected_list collected_list.tmp cat daily_list collected_list.tmp | sort | unique > collected_list and use collected_list as a reference for stripping the font file; I expect an overhead smaller let's say than 5% if compared to the daily list of codepoints. Let me know if I was clear enough and if you think it does make sense. regards, Davide [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/spellcheck/level1/index.html
