Good point.  Thanks.

I can easily imagine that country A would prefer font X and country B would 
prefer font Y.

Is it easy to configure the font for a particular distribution?  If not, how 
much work would that be?

In addition to the font name, the size and modifier are also important.  I'm 
not sure what the right font-geek word for modifier is.  I'm thinking of 
things like bold, narrow, italic...  I've seen a few setups where shifting 
from font-x to font-x-bold made things much easier to read.

The details of the monitor (brightness, contrast) and environment (ambient 
light) may be important.
