hopefully g-i will put more attention on font development. Today I took a look at dejavu and found out that all the necessary glyphs needed by Vietnamese are contained in version 2.4 (I thought 2.3 was ok but I was wrong) > Can we use it for Vietnamese? Yes, if we don't have anything better. :) I understand your point: I still think showing our interest will "inspire" font developers / maintainers. As said before, I think the best option for a project like g-i would be a package like freefont or dejavu covering almost all languages without using too many bytes and with a nice visual effect. > Do we have a link where I can point people, about Debian being about > to release?

Once g-i will be more officially integrated with d-i we'll see if and how webpages will be changed. Ciao, Davide [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUI
