Well, DejaVu certainly does not aim just at "good enough". Please report any problem with it upstream. Even if Culmus stays in Fedora users will mostly see DejaVu since it's the default font set (not just in Fedora BTW). So if your script is included in DejaVu you really want to work with DejaVu upstream to get it good. Anyway that highlights a problem with fonts: users are highly sensitive to font changes, and fonts change slowly. So l10n groups *must* test the Fedora font selection very early in a cycle. Any problem spotted after what used to be called Test2 is unlikely to be fixed in time for the final release. More local involvement in font packaging would help of course. -- Nicolas Mailhot
