It's not just about fonts installed on my desktop. I still do a _lot_ of debugging/code browsing remotely over terminal connections. I still often have to sit down at someone else's machine and help them troubleshoot, often going through the stack trace for whatever package they're using--and I don't have control over which fonts they decide to install. Even simple high-bit latin1 characters differ on vanilla Windows machines vs. vanilla Linux/Mac machines. I even sometimes read code snippets on email lists and websites from my handheld, which is sadly still memory-limited enough that I'm really unlikely to install anything approaching a full set of Unicode fonts. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
