Yo! I would not object if a free font starts out with greek or cyrillic letters, and other charsets added later. I would not object if some font starts out as a ascii font with umlauts added later. Right now Debian is not able to pick and chose from a vast number of free high quality fonts, so denying inclusion of a font on the grounds of incompletenes would be foolish (and there is not one complete font in Debian right now. Unicode is quite huge... Assuming that Unicode is accepted as 'complete' - I think this would be open to discussion, too. And assuming the Software could even deal with proper unicode, which most of todays software cannot - combining characters and bidi...) cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
