It agree it seems kinda strange. However I'm not willing to fork ScummVM over in order to have a «ScummVM - Debian Edition» containing a fix for this particular issue. It's much too minor for that, as I see it. You should rather convince upstream (ie. Ender). > I even checked German and Swedish subtitles, but I'm really not > qualified to tell what they mean.

If I recall correctly, they had to change the logo on the beer can in the intro, because the brewery (Foster's?) didn't like them using their trademark or something. Also I know that the Americans are quite anal about language, maybe they didn't like «defecation». (Sorry about the pun...) Grazie -- Tore Anderson
