<br>> issues.<br>><br>> The expected duration is 1 hour. Based on interest<br>> and support, we may<br>> arrange extra sessions.<br>><br>> The agenda includes:<br>> 1. discussion on basic issues on fonts; font
<br>> licenses;<br>> 2. building a list of 'desirable' FLOSS fonts for<br>> each language/script;<br>> tell us your preference; promote your preference<br>> 3. build an 'optimal' fonts.conf file (+ suggest<br>
