Description of problem: i did a fresh install of f15 and found a whole bunch of lohit* fonts installed. to get rid of them i had to do a yum erase and it showed the lohit fonts were not a dependency to any other program Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.do a fresh install 2.rpm -qa | grep lohit 3. Actual results: bunch of lohit fonts Expected results: no lohit fonts found Additional info:
Instead of just installing Latin script fonts, it can be single font. We install at least one font for each script, so if any user find any content on web it should render properly. Lohit fonts cover 9 Indian scripts. reopen if any problem
The Lohit fonts are really quite small so including them by default is not much of a problem - I think other major OS platforms also do this. Mohammed, I guess you want to have a font with Arabic support installed by default? Well it is the same for people in India. :)
Thanks jens for clarifying it more :) Aman was suggesting wiki page for this kind of queries, what do you say?
@jens - arabic is not part of the requirement. in fact, i do not remember mentioning it. @pravin since you mention that 1 font / script needs to be installed .. i will need to double check arabic is installed by default thanks
