Package: xfonts-base Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 Severity: wishlist The traditional short font aliases such as "fixed" hard-code the iso8859-1 encoding. Thus, applications that use these aliases don't work in non iso-8859-1 locales. If the aliases were changed to use a * for the encoding, they would be useful in these locales.
I realize there may be tradition or robustness rationales for leaving the encoding hard-coded, so I understand if you cannot take this suggestion.
