Probably needs a different bug open upstream explaining the problem, then, since the massive ellipsization problem the bug references seems to be fixed, AFAICT.

Fair enough, the Cantarell font is missing some glyph coverage. Why not organize a team to help extend that, since it would be more useful globally? Perhaps there's already a move afoot for this, because certainly the same can be said of Asian languages.

This tool should only be useful for a small subset of the people expected to use GNOME 3 and Fedora 15. Including it by default would be confusing to the rest because they wouldn't know in what cases they'd use it. A cursory glance at the settings in that tool shows they're clearly not understandable to a large swath of people who don't spend a lot of time with operating system internals. -- Paul W.
