should we install google croscore font as a default in fedora 18?

Hi all,
  The updated package google-croscore-fonts-1.21.0-3.fc17 is now
pushed to stable. I have done some comparison of Liberation vs
Croscore fonts. See
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Liberation_vs_Croscore_fonts
  Currently, I have marked google-croscore-fonts as a optional package
in comps-f18. Considering it has got more orthography support compared
to Liberation font can we install it default? But, I would also say
that we have active development for Liberation font and if a bug comes
for Liberation font we can fix it. I am not sure how a bug can be
fixed for google croscore font. I can't find upstream URL as well as a
way to fix any upcoming bugs and get its fix upstream. We can fix them
in Fedora only.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Parag.

Hi,
   I suppose no reply mean everyone is happy with Liberation fonts as
a default install package.

Thanks & Regards,
Parag.

I guess you better ask on devel list as well because everyone doesn't necessarily subscribe this list.

I will ask the Google team who manage the croscore fonts (which are
commissioned from Monotype) about getting better public points of
contacts for these fonts.

I know the croscore fonts have improvements from Monotype over
Liberation, and a much better licence situation :) So I thin it would
be good to make them default - if patches can be taken upstream.
