Great work, Branden. Thanks a lot.

Haven't heard about it. Which fonts are these?

I'm wondering about the wisdom of making xbase-clients dependent on
the DPS libraries.

Does that mean that the X books have different names upstream and in
Debian? If so, I think it's a very bad idea as it will make telling
people to RTFM horribly awkward.

BR> (shared version)
That's not quite accurate. It's a library that contains only those
symbols from Xmu that have been found to be used by many non-Xt
clients. It is by no means a replacement for Xmu.
$ size Xmu/libXmu.so.6.2 Xmuu/libXmuu.so.1.0
text data bss dec hex filename
76085 2324 936 79345 135f1 Xmu/libXmu.so.6.2
7906 912 24 8842 228a Xmuu/libXmuu.so.1.0
While I have your ear, anyone looking into packaging Xvesa?
