Public bug reported: The main reason for that is unicode support, which exists only on FLTK 1.3 (besides fltk2). That should be critical for all non-english users. I already tried that with zynaddsubfx and its fork yoshimi, both as good as expected. Ideally fltk1.3 could completely replace version 1.1 and take its place in main repo.
If some fltk applications was removed due to lack of unicode support, there is good case to reabilite them. Affected packages: quite large list of packages, formally — all fltk 1.1 dependants. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: applications fltk unicode utf8 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178668 Title: Rebuild fltk1.1 dependants packages with fltk1.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1178668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
