Please find, for review, the debconf templates of fontconfig. This review will last from Tuesday, April 03, 2007 to Friday, April 13, 2007. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. Some rationale: - split out Choices to help translators work - Add an introductory "Please select..." paragraph - Remove all double spaces (we should make a policy about this but what I've read up to now does not really give a good explanation for the use of double spaces sometimes and simple spaces in other situations) - kept the en_US spelling (ize....) - Break a too long paragraph in two parts --
