Possible areas for improvement in font handling:
- Modernize/complete the font selection/preview dialog. See:
- Nicolas Spalinger's call
- another gtk-devel thread
- Fix it in OOo too: ooo79878
- Modernize the font tab in the appearance capplet
- Font installation:

Packages may not be the best approach to fonts (packaging means minimal legal audit of the font, addition of human-friendly description and necessary fontconfig rules, fc-cache automation, etc Doing it all elsewhere means creating another font-specific packaging format)
- If packages are the answer for now, at least make font installation automatic, see Features/AutomaticFontInstallation
- Implement side bearing deltas in cairo and pango (see http://osdir.com/ml/fonts.freetype.user/2007-03/msg00057.html)
