Makes sense.

I'm not in a position to do that, sorry. But the Fedora font project has
been quite active in the past.

I wish we had a more fine-grained way to install/uninstall fonts:
$ fc-list|wc -l
2489
but adding 2,000+ packages isn't the way to go.

FontMatrix has ways to activate/deactivate fonts, but is not included at
least in the Mageia 1 that I have here.

Fonts, themes, background images, legal music files :-) and other
resources could do with a way to manage them at a per-user and
per-project level. This is a more general topic than Mageia is likely to
solve I think :)
