move some fonts to [community] or [extra]

I would be very good if ttf-dejavu, ttf-freefont and proggyfonts were moved to [community] or even [extra].
dejavu is an open-source continuation of bitstream vera.
freefont from freedesktop.org contains glyphs for most Unicode codepages.
proggyfonts are extremely useful for coders.
I think at least ttf-freefont should be movedd to [extra].

You're probably right, these are important font packages that should become more mainstream within Arch's package repos.

In the meantime, if they can graduate to Community, then it's a step in the right direction. Get voting, folks!

Hm... I'll take a look at proggyfonts and ttf-dejavu - I might end up using them both myself if they're good.
