Makes sense to me. I once was involved in preparing a proceedings for a conference where there were submissions prepared using MS Word in English, but some speakers were from Japan. For those speakers, the text used a Unicode font which provides English glyphs. At some point a free font was substituted for the (proprietary) Japanese fonts. When converted to PDF the quality of was poor due to lack of font hinting. I have also encountered a case where I wanted to unmount the partition containing texlive. The texlive outline fonts were configured in fontmap so available to apps other than TeX. The unmount failed. Using lsof revealed two texlive font files open in Gnome Shell. I would expect Gnome Shell to stick to some always available default fonts, but perhaps it looks for alternatives if the default fonts lack something. -- George N. White III
