This is the area for dicsussions of the [[Font Common Room]] page. |

Much of the content which was in this page previously (namely all of it except the above notes) has been moved to the new [[Fonts]] page, thereby restoring the Fonts Common Room to its intended purpose of being used for solving problems about fonts which arise in projects. |

''General Note'': Most (if not all) of the people involved in these pages they do so out of their free time and because they enjoy doing it. It's fun. These pages are being developed and are work in progress. If you have a comment, make it in a civilised and modern manner. |

The following paragraph was moved here from the [[Font Common Room]] page. It referes to the section that talks about fontconfig (sans, serif, monospace), etc. |

:This entire discussion seems to be ignorant of the development work that has been done, outside of the Linux community, in developping Unicode fonts. The prime example is [http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium Gentium] which covers most of the scripts needed. Any work in improving coverage should add glyphs to existing Unicode fonts like Gentium. Also, please not that concepts such as sans, serif and monospace do not exist at all in many of the world's scripts. Most scripts also do not have upper/lower case distinctions. |

Much of the content which was in this page previously (namely all of it except the above notes) has been moved to the new Fonts page, thereby restoring the Fonts Common Room to its intended purpose of being used for solving problems about fonts which arise in projects.
