pango depends on FriBidi library. I have packaged it to play with
pango. But fribidi's linked with glib 1.2.
- gtk 1.3 depends on pango
- pango depends on fribidi, and
- fribidi depends on glib 1.3
A maintenance problem could occur if gtk/glib is maintained by you,
but fribidi is maintained by me. If you want, just take my fribidi
packages.
