When upstream moves to .ttf, we will be ready.
Point of Debian order here; what you (and I) want is arch "all" (build once for all arches), rather than "any" (built for any one arch). This has been a long-standing wishlist request, which was languished because (as I understand it), nobody wanted to futz with the imake build system enough to make it possible, and I can't blame anyone for that. If the X.Org build system makes this possible, then that's great. -- - mdz
