It would be cool, if the package reflected that. You can download the fonts from the webfonts repository, i.e. from: http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/#hg%2Fapache%2Fdr... etc. The fonts that I don't see in my installation are: * Droid Arabic Kufi (although I guess an earlier version was called Droid Sans Arabic – and that one is indeed included) * Droid Arabic Naskh * Droid Sans Ethiopic * Droid Sans Tamil * Droid Serif Thai But maybe the other Droid fonts were updated in the meantime too.

Maybe yes, maybe not, but these two are other families than Droid Sans Arabic. Document requesting Droid Sans Arabic will not see them. fontconfig rule would fix that, but to which arabic family should we map Droid Sans Arabic? We can simply package all of them.

* Droid Sans Ethiopic * Droid Sans Tamil * Droid Serif Thai

I do not see Droid Sans Japanese and Droid Sans Hebrew there. Maybe we can add files holding families above to the current google-droid-fonts package. Thomas, what do you think? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

To clarify: I would map Sans Arabic to Arabic Kufi. I am certainly not an Arabic expert, though – I probably can't really tell, therefore.

Thomas, what do you think?

So why you would do that (just curious)?
