Amen to this. I care a lot about having fairly complete Unicode coverage
in my display fonts, and I've often had to trawl through aptitude to try
to guess at which font packages I need to install just to, for example,
see the front page of Wikipedia without annoying empty squares.
Let alone http://www.columbia.edu/~fdc/utf8/ where I'm still missing:
Vietnamese (nôm) (only some characters)
Mongolian (Classic)
These may actually be covered by fonts in Debian, but I don't know how to
find them.
