--- Comment #36 from martin_hosken at sil.org ---
Hmm. I tried a simple, one font document of some Awami text and said just to
only include fonts used in documents, and the resulting .odt contained:
"Courier New" (4 faces), Liberation Mono (4 faces), Liberation Serif (4 faces),
Tahoma (1 face) in addition to the intended Awami (1 face).

It's tricky because the character formatting for that one line of text says:
Western Font = Awami Nastaliq, Asian = Courier New and CTL = Awami Nastaliq
Beta 3 (which is referenced by the .odt but not included, perhaps because the
font has gone away). So perhaps the Courier New inclusion makes sense. Not so
sure about the Liberation and Tahoma, though. It does look like these fonts are
referenced by the default styles.

The question is whether fonts for unused styles should be included. I would
argue that they not be included. Even a basic document of simply saying: new
document, then select a font and type some text, ends up with quite a bit of
cruft. Yes this is a distinct improvement over including all the system fonts.
But it's still quite a big file.
