They generally when attempting to search for possible fonts to install will get at least 20 times as many packages not actually containing fonts as packages actually containing fonts. Since the results are generally sorted alphabetically, the packages actually containing fonts are scattered randomly among all the non-fonts packages. How's a person supposed to figure out what packages that contain fonts are available? And how many people actually care what foundry produced them? The right way, cross-distro- would be for all packages containing one or more fonts start 'fonts-', and all packages not containing fonts not start with 'fonts-'. e.g. fontconfig- fonts-bitmap- fonts-dejavu- fonts-freefont- fonts-ghostscript- fonts-liberation- fonts-urw- fonts-xorg-100dpi- xorg-x11-font-utils- -- "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."
