Description TGL 2003-02-21 12:19:46 UTC

Hi,

In a discussion about an ebuild for Bitstream Vera fonts, the idea of an 
"app-fonts" or "x11-fonts" new category was proposed. 
See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=215455.
  I also think it's a good idea because now some fonts are in app-text while
others are in x11-misc, and it's not really easy to know what are the available 
fonts in portage.
  What do you, developpers, think about it? Is it problematic to move all existing
fonts ebuilds to such a new category?

I think this could be closed, since there is now a "media-fonts" category.

Closing as we have media-fonts for a while
