Hello *,

I am running currently 27 Education Centers in Moroco, Turkey
and Iran and have THE HELL finding the right fonts...

What I like to see is a Tag like 

    Font::Language::<lang1> <lang2>

Pleas can you provide such tag?

It would be a realy great benefit for ALL USERS who do not use
english as there native language.

at least 131 font packages in Etch and I have all installed which give
arround 29500 font names.

So, now tell me where are the nepalese fonts are!

I have autogenerated Debian packages of my font collections bought on
around 35 CD's installing all 7500 Packages results in over 580.000
font names.  :-/

Which crash defoma...

Even 'mkfontscale' need over 28 hours to generate the font.scale on a
Sempron 2200+ with 3 GByte of memory.

It was already the FONT-HELL on Windows (e.g. font-monster) for 8 years
but under Linux we have the same crap.  Please provide a new Tag for
the Font-Language

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
