This can be fixed by > converting to freetype. As has already been explained[1][2], the t1lib code used in grace *is* supported by the upstream grace maintainer. That's not the same as supporting all of t1lib, but grace doesn't even ship a complete copy of t1lib, just bits and pieces it needs. freetype support would be a Nice Thing, but using a convenience copy of t1lib is neither RC[3] nor an outstanding security issue. -- Nicholas Breen nbr...@debian.org [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638760#79 [2] http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/collab-maint/deb-maint/grace/trunk/debian/README.source?view=markup [3] Policy 4.13 is a "should", not a "must". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
