See > http://hughsient.livejournal.com/55964.html It's not trivial because current packages do not have the necessary metadata. And the install-fonts-by-style is yet another thing. But since this metadata would be pretty useless for humans and only makes sense in a packagekit-like context, you have a chicken and egg problem. > > This is something that would help a huge number of users, much more than > > codec plugins ever will.

Actually, it's every application that uses fontconfig (Behdad is also Fedora's fontconfig man). Which is a huge application base, so you'd need a big generic part and a small application-specific glue. > If you cc Behdad we can all > talk on the same hymn sheet. CC done -- Nicolas Mailhot
