Going to your wiki page, I read that dejavu has been split into ~10 subpackages. If this happens to all font packages, it will blow up metadata and package lists and make it harder for users to install a reasonable set of fonts. There are real costs associated with overly fine-grained package splits. Have you really weighted to pros and cons of this idea ? The use case you cite Wanting serif from dejavu, mono from liberation, and sans from tiresias, without dragging in all the other dejavu/liberation/tiresias fonts is a valid setup. Doesn't really strike me as worth supporting... Matthias -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
