Package: dvipng Version: 1.8-1 Severity: minor Tag: sarge Hello,
This bug arose while trying to backport the etch version of dvipng to sarge. The above dvipng version can be built on on sarge but it fails to find freetype font glyphs if the sarge versions of tetex-extra and libfreetype6 are installed. Even in this case it works if freetype is disabled (--freetype0 cmd-line option). I could only get it to with libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1) when tetex-extra is installed. Note that if tetex-extra is not installed then tex defaults to the bitmap fonts anyway and so the incompatability with libfreetype does not arise. At the moment I am undecided which of the three packages is to "blame" so I'm keeping the bug with "dvipng".
