(Plus it would make it easier to find Free fonts...) Sure, take the time to make the experiment, remove fonts, remove music, remove themes, remove images, and see how much stuff is still working or useful in your nice "software only" repository. Most people understand that part. What they usually don't is that adding more "non-software" elements (in addition to those we already have to because a lot of things would bloody not work without them), would have additionnal synergistic effects for everyone involved. PS Fonts can be compiled and include an instruction langage. Which is complex enough some of its bits got patented. Looks like software to me. PPS Text without screenshots is not too useful to describe pure software package for the average user either -- Nicolas Mailhot
