DejaVu has a table > of its coverage: > http://dejavu.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dejavu/trunk/dejavu- > fonts/unicover.txt Droid does not have the whole style set DejaVu has (not even the complete normal/bold/italic/bold-italic) and only has more glyphs because it includes a huge CJK fallback font of medium quality (which BTW the Japanese seem not to like). For european scripts, its coverage is well below dejavu http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/font/custom.htm But that does not matter since a desktop comps group is not the place where we define default fonts, and I'm not going to let people play with fire and increase the Droid font priority in my package. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
