Description Dusan Peterc 2005-09-16 19:01:56 UTC 
Like in SUSE 9.3 and some releases before that,
only 75dpi fonts are present on the5  CDs.
100dpi fonts RPM was present on the DVD of SUSE 9.3
Given current resolutions, YAST shoudl install 100dpi fonts by default,
or the fonts which match the dpi of the resolution of the screen,
that is either 75 or 100 dpi.
The missing RPM is:

I don't think we'll ever see the 100dpi font package on the CD version given 
the size of about 13 MB.
Comment 2 Mike Fabian 2005-09-16 22:29:35 UTC 
If the on the fly reencoding of the bitmap fonts would work in X,
this package would get much smaller.

See bug #26091.

But there hasn't been any progress recently.

Re 13MB size:
1. There are 100MB of free space on CD 5
2. Are you sure you want to sell an OS which does not provide Helvetica
for high resolution users, in spite of shipping 5 CDs (3300 MB)?
3. If space is the issue, maybe games Torcs (36 MB) or Wesnoth (34 MB)
should be first to go.
