For reference in this thread, here are the fonts we're using in D-I:

# Fonts: see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUIFonts
ttf-freefont-udeb
ttf-farsiweb-udeb
ttf-cjk-compact-udeb
ttf-tmuni-udeb
ttf-dejavu-udeb
ttf-khmeros-udeb
ttf-thai-tlwg-udeb
ttf-tamil-fonts-udeb
ttf-malayalam-fonts-udeb
ttf-kannada-fonts-udeb
ttf-telugu-fonts-udeb
ttf-sil-abyssinica-udeb
ttf-sinhala-lklug-udeb
ttf-lao-udeb
fonts-ukij-uyghur-udeb

So, for Indic languages, we have 5 font packages plus ttf-freefont
covering Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi and Bengali scripts. It would
certainly be good if we could restrict this..:-)

That brings two, no, three, questions :

- Are glyphs provided by FreeFont OK for the above 4 fonts?
- What scripts are covered by Lohit fonts?
- If some scripts are covered by Lohit, are speakers of these
languages OK to switch to Lohit?
