with all the backports
for newer versions like Gnome 2.2 and such, I wonder: is there anyone
out there who truly runs a stable-Debian only system?
Well, consider this my introduction to the world of GNU/Linux and,
especially, Debian. Feels good to be here!
Appreciatively and Sincerely,

AFAIK (and correct me if I'm wrong), fontconfig is not available under Stable,
