Hmm, I'm confused: On both stable and unstable installations here, libgd
seems to have a dependency on libpng12. Furthermore, nothing seems to be
using libXft, running lsof over a running slimserver process shows
libfreetype and libfontconfig, no libXft.
Are you sure that your libgd installation isn't "strange"?
I tried to reproduce this problem and noticed that the problem was due
to the fact that I hada a GD-files from the original Slimserver
package lying around. The GD.so as distributed in the slimserver
tarball does *not* have the dependency info right, but the Debian
GD.so does have it correct. So, this is my fault. Sorry about the
noise.
No problem: I'll close the bug.
Another issue I'm wondering about: I have some music with Chinese
titles in it. To get the titles displayed, I switched to the
arphic/ukai.ttf font. However, AFAIK, there is no single font that
covers all the Unicode glyphs, so perhaps SlimServer needs to be
extended to support multiple Unicode fonts and to use the appropriate
font for any given code. Firefox seems to do this nicely, but I have
no idea what logic they use to pick which font (e.g., ukai.ttf does
have English characters but they're ugly so you wouldn't want to use
that font for anything other than the Chinese characters).
This way out of my pay grade, I'm afraid. I can push it into upstream
Bugzilla if you like (I've done that with the patches you supplied, as
well as applying them in Debian) but it might be better if you did so
yourself; the better to answer the inevitable queries.

Can you forward the report and then sets me as the "Reply-to" contact?
Bugzilla doesn't seem to allow that: it's bery account based. I've
submitted the bug from my account: I'll forward any response.
Cheers,
Simon.
Thanks,
