I understand that, and expected this kind of answer, hoping that I could get clarification. Sorry for bothering, but I hope to help clarify the situation with libxft2 for testing users. Bug #350113 seems to last for some time, before the change affecting testing users. > > When will the issue with libxft2 be considered seriously > > Your aspersions that bugs are not being considered seriously is > inappropriate. > Sorry... I have had to put libxft2* packages on hold since I experienced the crash on "FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden" as many other people, and it looked like the only way to workaround the crash. I saw nothing change in the bugs, so I was thinking that maybe it was not addressed.

Thanks in advance if you can clarify this, and maybe update #350113 details for testing users who were hit by that bug at some time, and reverted to stable's version (Following : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=350113;msg=52) Maybe I should have responded in [EMAIL PROTECTED] quoting that very #52 message, asking for update on that workaround first ?
