Package: perl-tk Version: 1:804.027-7 Severity: normal
Tk can be compiled with xft support, which allows for anti aliasing and using all fonts accessible to xft, including TrueType. Although this might have gone to "wishlist", it's more than that in my view. It's not about programs looking nice fonts; it's about most of the tk-programs having awful, almost unreadable, scaled bitmap fonts. Just install perl-tk and run the program "widget". If the windows of this program have fonts that look nice on your system, then there is another configuration issue (extra font packages installed?) -- but in any case, anti aliasing will not be supported. I have been using perl-tk with xft support for a while now, and it seems both stable and well-working. Everything that needs to be done is to use $(PERL) Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor PERL=$(PERL) instead of $(PERL) Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor PERL=$(PERL) XFT=1 in the debian/rules file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-vserver-686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages perl-tk depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-4 X11 client-side library ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.8.8] 5.8.8-7 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime perl-tk recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
