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?

Xft2 and fontconfig are probably still a bit experimental. But yes, Red Hat developers have been experimenting with it in Rawhide. Note that the Xft1 -> Xft2 upgrade will affect quite a few package, including XFree86, Qt, Gtk2, and probably more. Do figure out the roadmap before diving into it. :-) Cheers, Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling ThizLinux Laboratory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.thizlinux.com/ Debian Chinese Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.org/intl/zh/ Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp! http://www.olvc.ab.ca/

XFree86 contains Xft (aka Xft1) library, it uses XftConfig scheme. Current XFree86 CVS contains Xft2 and Xft1, both use fontconfig library scheme. (Xft1 was modfied to use fontconfig insted of XftConfig) Xft does use libfontconfig, but libfontconfig does not depend on X. I think perhaps some non-X programs and libraries will use libfontconfig to handle fonts. These are not depend X. So, I suggests that xlibs package should not contain libfontconfig, it will be separate from xlibs package (e.g libfontconfig.deb and libfontconfig-dev.deb package) when we release the xfree86_4.3.0 package. -- ISHIKAWA Mutsumi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Want to help fix xdm on MIPS
I have an Indy (MIPS R4600SC) that dies when I run xdm There is a known bug that causes xdm to Oops the 2.4.X kernels. I would like to know if there is something I can do to help locate the cause of this problem. I understand a decoded Oops is what is needed. Can anyone point me in the right direction to what I need to read and understand in order to do this. I know it's probably a Huge task, way beyond my abilities, but thats what make it a challenge! And if I fail miserably - you can say "I told you so!" Thanks! Mike Martin mike . martin @ cogeco . ca
