- DejaVu full replaces DejaVu LGC as default font set. LGC still
available in the repo for users wishing to downgrade the default font
coverage.
- Luxi was dropped. Not modifiable.
- DejaVu and Liberation updated to new versions with more coverage.
- Many historic font packages were renamed and reorganised (the end of
the font-region bundles)
- Stix, Tiresias, Yanonne, Greek Font Society font set were added (and
several others I don't remember from the top of my head, diffing comps
files from F8 at release time and Rawhide or asking Jens should tell
the full story)

Not for the release notes, but for the list: we have good official
packaging guidelines for TTF/OTF fonts now, and a huge font wishlist.
What we are lacking is packagers. Please come join the fun!
