Until july, NTeX shipped with modified cm-fonts that made it _incompatible_ with every other TeX of the world. Some students here at the university of cologne installed the german SuSE-Distribution (shipped with NTeX) and they wondered why their articles looked completly different when printed/viewed at university ... The difference between "NTeX" and the rest of the world was a 12 pages more/less on an 70-page document. "It's a feature not a bug" was the reaction to my bug-report. Sigh. The advantage of using teTeX instead is: it already ships with binaries for 23 plattforms and is proven to be a high quality TeX-Distribution (rumors say the author had tested it recently by installing it at CERN with several thousand users). My opinion is that we should not waste our time by providing several TeX-Distributions for Debian-users. We should stick either with the packages from Nils (works but is not that rich) or we should package up teTeX _instead_. -Winfried
