That's a decent combination, in my opinion. A more space-conservative one which
I also think would be ok is:
* 1 David variant (serif) - David CLM
* 1 Frank Ruehl variant (serif) - Frank Ruehl CLM
* 1 Miriam variants (slim) - Miriam CLM
* 1 mono-space font (mono) - Miriam Mono CLM
* 3 recommended sans fonts (sans) - Rubik Libre, Nachlieli CLM, Alef
Also (in case I haven't said this before already, which I may have) it would be
nice if there could be a detection of whether the CLM fonts are available, and
only download/install an extra version when they aren't. In fact, in order to
simplify this, it might not be a bad idea to just depend on the Culmus package
when packaging for various OS distros and only bundle them in a standalone
download.

I'm very much against this. We should foster finer use of weights and not
cripple the fonts by not bundling their full weight spectrum.</pre>
