[lubuntu-devel] Alternate Images

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi,

irc nick 'krytarik' is of the opinion it is the Asian fonts that tipped the
alternates over the edge. This would tie in with us adding cjk fonts at the
behest of the Asian community. If this is, indeed, the case then we just
need to mention that Asian language support is only on the desktop image.
Because of the way the Asians are with computers, I doubt that there are
too many CD only machines in use over there. Something had to 'give' to
keep the alternates CD sized, and it looks like language support direct
from the image has had to be sacrificed. It is no big deal to install
afterwards.

Here's keeping my fingers crossed that this does resolve it!

Phill.
