As far as I understand it, xorg will continue to use libfreetype6 for font rendering; both libxfont1 and libxft2 depend on it directly. I do not know the details of how the xorg module named "freetype" was involved in the font rendering for earlier versions of xorg, but this module is clearly not needed anymore. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
