Package: ttf-malayalam-fonts Version: 1:0.5.4 Severity: normal Tags: patch /etc/defoma/hints/ttf-malayalam-fonts.hints tells the rest of Debian to look for one of the installed fonts in AnjaliOldLipi-0.730.ttf, but it is actually installed in AnjaliOldLipi.ttf .
Because Debian packages are supposed to believe defoma when looking for fonts, policy compliant packages will not be able to use that font until this is fixed. I have attached a simplistic patch for the broken hints file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31jbj3.4-43 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ttf-malayalam-fonts depends on: ii defoma 0.11.10-0.2 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ttf-malayalam-fonts recommends no packages.
