If you say this, people from various countries would require fonts
for their languages. Then, finally, xfonts-base will grow up until
it will contain all fonts from xfonts-base-transcoded.
My idea is that xfonts-base will contain at least _one_ font from
every charset. This will minimize the increase of the size of
xfonts-base and at the same time we can keep the equality among
languages in the world.
The problem is that what font is appropriate for the _one_ font?
IMHO, it is -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-*-*
(where *-* is charset), because it is usually used for a font named
"fixed".
