Thanks for the info guys. Next time, I'll just look more closely at the rpm. I figured there was just some reason it wasn't included. I'm a little bit familiar with the patent problems associated with truetype fonts and apple, so I thought that this might be the problem. Tomorrow when I have a redhat machine handy, I'll take a look at the copyright on those fonts. > I'd rather wait until Keith has given some indication that the code is > stable before I'd even want to consider patching up to it. > > Most likely, the best approach is just to get it with the rest of 4.3.0 > when that is released. > Don't you think that we could include it now in testing or in unstable? I'll probably be making a deb package for it for lindows, so if you're interested, let me know and I'll post it somewhere so people can test it. michael -- michael cardenas lead software engineer lindows.com . hyperpoem.net .
