I think what he's getting at is when you go into a font picker dialog in some 
application like, say, the GIMP, and the top 40 or so fonts on the list are 
all mysteriously useless things that start with ae_, and all render into one 
of about four different typefaces in Latin-based languages.

This seems to be a standard Ubuntu thing for some reason.  I have no idea why, 
but I suspect whatever this stuff is for, it's not for me anyway.

I'm not trying to change anything.  I'm just trying to help explain what I 
think the other guy is getting on about here.
