Package: xfonts-utils Version: 1:7.7+6 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
as you may know a new upstream release is available for fonttosfnt: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2020-October/060497.html This release includes some fixes that can be useful for people converting bitmap fonts to Open Type bitmaps, which is particularly relevant since pango removed support for older bitmap formats[1,2]. It would be good to have it in Debian. Let me know if you need some help and I'll try to find some time. Thanks a lot, Antonio [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=939748 [2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/386 -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages xfonts-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.31-4 ii libfontenc1 1:1.1.4-1 ii libfreetype6 2.10.2+dfsg-4 ii x11-common 1:7.7+21 ii xfonts-encodings 1:1.0.4-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2 xfonts-utils recommends no packages. xfonts-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Antonio Ospite https://ao2.it https://twitter.com/ao2it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
