Quoting Frans Pop (elendil@planet.nl): > You are also forgetting that quite a few strings with latin glyphs are > generated *at run time* (e.g. udeb names and descriptions in anna; file > systems and mount points; names of LVM volumes; time zones; ...) and you > really do not want the situation where some latin glyphs are taken from the > font from Amharic and some other latin glyphs are taken from DejaVu or > FreeSans. Also, one should remember that many strings displayed during D-I come from *outside* D-I (tasksel, iso-codes, debconf, apt, dpkg...). So, I don't really see how we could safely check whether these strings are covered by the stripped fonts. And, frankly, I think that the benefit in terms of memory space would be pretty small compared to the requirement of G-I anyway. --
