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.=20 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.
