Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.2 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.1-2), libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 Filename: pool/main/x/xfstt/xfstt_1.2_i386.deb Size: 65238 MD5sum: d683aa10fbaa11bee169f1be4bed7171 Description: TrueType Font Server for X11 xfstt means "X11 Font Server for TT fonts". TT fonts are generally regarded to be the best scalable fonts for displays. Applications needing scalable fonts that are to be displayed on a screen benefit most. This server will allow X11 applications to use the exact same fonts as the TrueType fonts used on most Windows Machines. NB: This package contains NO FONTS. They MUST be obtained separately Stephen writes: | At this point it almost makes sense for xfstt to just be removed from | Debian (as it does not work with Xfree86 4 and its functionality has | been implimented in said system) and is mostly of use to other OSs | and people still using xfree86 3.x Since xfree86 3.x is going to be included in woody, it might make sense to keep xfstt around for that release. See #80876 for a discussion. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
