Comment(by godiard):

 I think we include 47 fonts right now.

 You can see them using http://git.sugarlabs.org/many-
 tests/mainline/blobs/master/test_fonts.py

 There are DejaVu LGC(Sans/Sans Mono/Serif), Droid (Sans/Sans Mono/Serif)
 and Sans/Serif/Monospace (may be Liberation?) and I have not tested
 coverage, but in latin space look very similar. May be we need select the
 best and remove the other.

 We also include 8 Hersey-* fonts, but I think are broken. There are more
 fonts non useful or confusing to children. I am thinking in doing a
 blacklist and expose only a few in the activities like Write, Paint and
 Fototoon.

 There are a list of packaged fonts in fedora here
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Packaged_fonts and also doing "yum
 search fonts"

 Who can decide this? Is possible have a better font selection in 11.3.0?
