Yes, you can subscribe to the package bug reports pseudo mailing list on: http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/ttf-freefont.html See the "Subscription - Package Tracking System" part on the left.... > There is an interesting observation in the email you forward below - it > looks like the problem existed in some very old releases, then was seemingly > correct in some intermediate releases, and then again reappeared.

It seems that this issue annoys a lot of potential users of the font package and getting upstream maintainer's yeyes on it is certainly a good idea. On http://bugs.debian.org/ttf-freefont, you'll find all current issues about ttf-freefont. There are not much left opened but I think another bug also deserves to have some investigation: #255569: ttf-freefont: Freemono font no longer recognized as a monospace font (http://bugs.debian.org/255569) Please notice that the maintainer of the ttf-freefont package was Konstantinos Margaritis up to now. However, he will be unavailable for the next months because of his military service in Greece. I will probably try to maintain the package as much as I can in the meantime but I'm not a font guy so your help would definitely be a big improvement. We (Debian) deeply count on freefont as the "soon to come" graphical installer will try using it for as many languages as possible... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
