Hi all,

at FOSDEM we had a nice discussion about languages, translations etc.
Having people from the US (wolf31o2) who never have problems and people
from Japan (usata) who always have problems with encodings /
charsets / ... was quite interesting.

During that discussion we realized that having utf-8 not enabled by
default and no utf8 fonts available by default causes lots of
recompilation and reconfiguration. 

Enabling the unicode useflag in the profiles should help our
international users and should not cause any problems. Are there any
known bugs / problems this would trigger? Any reasons against that?

If there are no objections this should be a small but helpful change.

On a tangent I wonder if pulling in extra fonts as a dependency of X
makes sense (useflag controlled, enabled by default) - that way the
unicode capabilities are available without any configuration.

Patrick
