Do you have one? Actually dejavu is a bad example because everyone wants it. I only did it because it's a complex and complete package that could stress the macros (also because it's my main package). But for the other font packages, it's very common to want only one font in a collection (for example all our artists use one mgopen font but not the others, we only need one font installed by default for each script to support it in the default install, etc). Also that makes dynamic font installation possible: when a document or web page references a font you can just install the corresponding package and not drag megs of unrelated fonts that just happened to be released by the same entity. -- Nicolas Mailhot
