Fonts in the LSB?

[Matt Taggart <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>]

Recently I've noticed that with increased support for TrueType fonts and more 
applications that can take advantange of them, there is a lot of confusion 
about what fonts can be expected to be on the system. In a quick search on 
linuxdoc.org, I found 4 different related HOWTOs,

  Font HOWTO
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Font-HOWTO.html

  XFree86 Font Deuglification Mini HOWTO
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/FDU/index.html

  TrueType Fonts in Debian mini-HOWTO
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/TT-Debian.html

  TrueType Fonts with XFree86 4.0.x mini-HOWTO
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/TT-XFree86.html

All of these have various pointers on where to get fonts and all of them 
mention using(stealing?) TT fonts from Microsoft Windows(tm). I'm worried that 
without a standard,

- applications may have to assume that a font is present
- applications may have to deliver the font themselves
- free software applications may be dependent on non-free fonts

Is this something that the LSB could solve?
Is this something that the LSB should solve?
Would it be approprite to define a set of DFSG free fonts that could be 
assumed to be on the system?

I couldn't find anything on the web site about this.

Thanks,
