@ Alexandru Szasz, in comment #10 :
That's exactly what is needed. The problem (at least for me) is that:
- I don't know who is developing these fonts upstream (especially the default
"latarcyrheb", which is very important) - otherwise I would mail them directly.
And, as a final user, I have no time/willingness to "dig" - subscribe to font
mailing lists, learn technicalities about fonts, etc.
- I'm not a developer myself (I'm a network administrator / final user). I'm
even willing to *pay* to get some coerent Romanian font support in Red
Hat/Fedora, but it still a long way to go...
- we must fix *a few* components of Fedora, among which the fonts are the first
logical stage (please see comment #8 ).
Even if my PDF in comment #1 was incorrectly generated, it still gives a good
image of what fonts are installed on a typical Red Hat/Fedora system. How we
shoud proceed to make these fonts correct for Romanian language (not only in
Fedora, but in all GNU/Linuxes)?
BTW, the Terminus fonts are technically OK, but visually pretty "thin" in
console mode. The default "latarcyrheb" is much more visible (and, IMHO,
preferable), *if* we get to fix it with comma-below glyphs.
Regards,
Răzvan
