Awesome; thanks for figuring this all out! [I glanced at the codebase a while ago, and decided that I didn't have time to figure out what was going on, either.] Fontforge maintainers: should I get upstream involved in this? Or do you think that the one-line patch is reasonable enough to try? [We could probably get a custom package with the patch installed onto zelenka by DSA for testing lilypond... and perhaps even have some of these fonts that fail thrown into a cheap "test suite" of sorts.] Don Armstrong -- You think to yourself, hey, it's a test tube, for God's sake. Pretty soon, though, the rush from a test tube isn't enough. You want to experiment more and more. Then before you know it, you're laying in the corner of a lab somewhere with a Soxhlet apparatus in one hand, a three neck flask in the other, strung out and begging for grant money. -- Tim Mitchell, 1994 Ig Nobel Chemistry Prize Speech http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
