There was talk at the LSB about standardizing default fonts in
distributions so web pages and documents look the same across the board
(right now if you take an OO.o document created and SuSE and open it in
Fedora the layout gets screwed).  I picked up from the talks that SuSE
ships a modified version of the bitstream fonts which has better support
for languages other than English.
