Bug Description

Binary package hint: germinate

The default seeds do not provide Tibetan fonts be default. The ISO 639-1 code for Tibetan is "bo". The lack of suitable fonts can be found by visiting:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_language
  http://bo.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%BD%82%E0%BD%99%E0%BD%BC%E0%BC%8B%E0%BD%84%E0%BD%BC%E0%BD%A6%E0%BC%8D

Ideally complete Unicode 16-bit range should be provided by default so that any text (eg. found on the web) can be displayed.

I agree. A basic font should be provided, because a user can open a web page that has Tibetan letters any time, in Wikipedia and elsewhere, and it should be required to manually install language packs only for that.
