And now the y2k page has been changed to reflect that.

So I'm continuing it... OK, You will find the perl script that does the
magic in the webwml/english/Pics directory, it is called debbar.pl
there is also a shell script makebuttons.sh which just makes all
the buttons. This is of course available in the CVS.

There is/was a problem with libgimp-perl deb, it was totally broken; I
couldn't even build the package, so I just used the plain ordinary
upstream version.  You will also need gimp 1.1 (You can use the deb
for that).

Before complaining the script segfaults or dies in some strange way
make *sure* that any other perl-based plug-in works (such as seth-spin)
and gimp can see the font you are asking for.

Hope this helps those who are not wierd-font-challenged like me.
