Bug Description

There are no funny unicode fonts (like comic) in default system :(
I found 2 free comic fonts in Debian/Ubuntu systems - StayPuft (ttf-staypuft package) and one from ttf-tamil-fonts package, but these fonts doesn't cover even European languages (ISO-8859-1 - ISO-8859-15), not talking about unicode characters...
Several nice fonts are in ttf-linex package, especially Abecedario (small children handwritten simulation) and Elegante (elegant handwritten simulation) - these fonts are used by the regional government of Extremadura, Spain, but they also doesn't have Lithuanian letters :(
There are a lot of funny fonts in ubuntustudio-font-meta package and Edubuntu 7.10 Live DVD, like Penguin Attack or Domestic Manners, but they also have only ASCII or Latin1 letters :(

Eglė found nice font "Linux Biolinum" (Organic Grotesque - non-linear Sans-Serif), this font is in ttf-linux-libertine package, so ttf-linux-libertine should be listed in baltix-office (and maybe in baltix-graphic) recommends section, see http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net for examples of "Linux Biolinum" and other Linux Libertine fonts.

summary: No funny unicode fonts (like comic) as default - include improved ttf-
- staypuft package
+ staypuft or ttf-linex package
