Tonight I've run some tests using dejavu fonts as discussed during the meeting. I created an iso [1] using an unstripped version of dejavu and without freefont; in the same directory ([2]) you can find a screenshot for each language. It turns out that dejavu does not contain Vietnames and Hebrew glyphs, meaning that we can't use it to completely substitute freefont. The latest version of freefont include all the Vietnamese glyphs listed below and the Hebrew glyphs. Once freefont will be ok, we can decide which font should display which language: freefont will probably be used for vietnamese, hebrew, hindi, punjabi, bengali. Comments are welcome. 01A1 vi 01AF vi 01B0 vi 05D0 he 05D1 he 05D2 he 05D3 he 05D4 he 05D5 he 05D6 he 05D7 he 05D8 he 05D9 he 05DA he 05DB he 05DC he 05DD he 05DE he 05DF he 05E0 he 05E1 he 05E2 he 05E3 he 05E4 he 05E5 he 05E6 he 05E7 he 05E8 he 05E9 he 05EA he 1EA0 vi 1EA1 vi 1EA2 vi 1EA3 vi 1EA4 vi 1EA5 vi 1EA7 vi 1EA9 vi 1EAB vi 1EAD vi 1EAF vi 1EB1 vi 1EB3 vi 1EB5 vi 1EB7 vi 1EB9 vi 1EBB vi 1EBC vi 1EBD vi 1EBF vi 1EC1 vi 1EC3 vi 1EC5 vi 1EC7 vi 1EC9 vi 1ECA vi 1ECB vi 1ECC vi 1ECD vi 1ECE vi 1ECF vi 1ED1 vi 1ED3 vi 1ED4 vi 1ED5 vi 1ED6 vi 1ED7 vi 1ED9 vi 1EDB vi 1EDD vi 1EDE vi 1EDF vi 1EE1 vi 1EE3 vi 1EE5 vi 1EE7 vi 1EE8 vi 1EE9 vi 1EEB vi 1EED vi 1EEF vi 1EF1 vi 1EF7 vi 2116 bg 2501 vi regards, Davide PS: Eddy, if there was not the nasty freefont bug I would never have done this test with dejavu :)) have to admit I like the way they look like [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/screenshots/20060307_dejavu/mini.iso [2] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/screenshots/20060307_dejavu/
