So, right now we Provide "font(:lang=fa)" from all fonts supporting that language. Why can't you create a metapackage default-fonts that provides "font(default:lang=fa)", etc that would then require the default font for the language? Moreover, that metapackage can be made automatically. It just needs to install all font packages available in the repository, walk through all languages, and see what font fontconfig chooses for that language. behdad > Sure, it's ugly and manual, but it's a limited level of manual work that > shouldn't explode. > > Bill > _______________________________________________ > fonts mailing list > fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts > http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/ _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
