A general font like DejaVu does lao, arabic (better support is waiting on better opentype support pango & qt-side) aboriginal canadian syllabics, armenian, greek, cyrillic so I don't think the "western only" qualifier applies. You just need to get people to work together, doing a whole unicode block is no harder within an unicode font than within a specific font (in fact it's easier since you don't have to redo latin like all the asian fonts do now) > > IMHO (which if worth what it's worth) you're not packaging generic fonts > > for tibetan but a specific font project, and it deserves name recognition > > just like any other upstream.

That's the logical next step. It feels like putting kmail and evolution in the same "MUA" package though. Can't you get by with a "Tibetan support" comps group instead ? I will work with font packages crossing langage boundaries, not force users to install every single font for one langage (and in CJK countries that weights quite a lot), allow you to follow two separate upstream release schedules, etc. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
