Description Nicolas Mailhot 2008-12-03 09:49:56 UTC

The Linux platform is gaining an on-demand font autoinstallation framework (BSD
and Solaris will probably follow eventually).

KDE apps should be plugged into it and use it to request the fonts their documents need. This would have a huge user impact, especially for koffice.
