You know what? Not only Debian but Fedora 35 has libthai too....and more

Hi guys

I ran some tests on almost all flavors of Fedora 35. They include:

"Default" edition

Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso

Network Installer

Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-35-1.2.iso

Fedora Spins such as

Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso
Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso
Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso
Fedora-LXQt-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso

I actually installed each of the above and then in a terminal I typed:

dnf list --installed|grep khmer*
dnf list --installed|grep thai*

and the following files were installed by default:

khmer-os-system-fonts.noarch
libthai.x86_64
thai-scalable-fonts-common.noarch
thai-scalable-waree-fonts.noarch

Fedora is the "upstream" of RHEL (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/fedora-and-red-hat-enterprise-linux/#:~:text=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%20(RHEL,of%20Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux.)

systemd was developed by Red Hat's folks, wasn't it? According to one camp, one of its nefarious intentions is to help the NSA to easily build backdoors to snoop on their targets of interest.

Introducing Khmer fonts, Thai fonts and libthai could be another way for the three-letter-agencies' spooks to spy on the Linux community. What do you think?

Best regards.
