Hi Daniel, Sorry for my lack of update on the package lately. I submitted my thesis a few months ago and just started new a postion at a university. So I don't really have much time for doing Debian packages right now. If you feel like taking over the package, please do so. There are a few bugs open wrt updating newer version of fontforge.
