How about virtual-font-package that would install proper font encodings
upon environment sets ?
For example: I'm only interested in using ISO-8859-2 fonts. For me it is
simple - all localizated apps use this encodins, those that aren't yet
use ASCII fonts. ASCII is a subset of ISO-8859-2 fonts, so I have
everything I need. Other font encodings are still available, but I don't
need them so I haven't installed them.
What do you think about such approach ? Now, with the current one, I
have two subsets of japanese fonts, korean fonts and simplyfied chinese
fonts installed and I'll never use them just because I don't know how to
read them. Not mension ISO-8859-1 and western fonts which also are
useless for me.
