If the apps can understand fontconfig aliases, use the default Sans one. If not, you'll have to use the font with the widest unicode coverage possible, which usually means FreeSans (even though a lot of people consider this coverage was attained by sacrificing quality). However even with FreeSans, I don't think you'll have full unicode coverage. So packaging FreeSans is only a stopgap measure – you should still open bugs upstream so the apps get fixed to access fonts through fontconfig. That being said FreeSans is widely used so it'll be good to have a FreeSans package in the repo, if only so Fedora users can open documents that specify it as the main font. If you package it do consider adding fontconfig setup files like we do for dejavu and dejavu-lgc (consult Behdad to choose the right priority for your font) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
