No problem, i focused on MS fonts issue because i think you've clarified the other font problem in that previous e-mail. > > > Can't you confirm if caudium works without these and that > > other font ?

I recommend you only upload a fix to this problem and not a entire new release. It can help us putting it on sarge if the freeze came while the uploaded package sit on sid, ok? > > Have you contacted upstream ?

Promise. > <joke> Good to hear, i'm now proud that i haven't started shooting the upstream authors about this bug. </joke> I can understand this lack of time and it's the main reason that i haven't tracked RC bugs actively in the last few months, i'm doing it right now and i think that we're closer to squash this one. When you prepare the package, if you can't upload it at the same time due the lack of testing please tag this bug as 'pending'. I think that it's a trivial bug to solve but if you need help testing, let me known.
